Head Coach

Gavin Joon

I am passionate about the art that every Chess game brings. I realized that I was not only able to share my knowledge on the game through coaching but also able to equip our young minds in the community, to become critical thinkers at a very young age and use their creativity & imagination over the board.

Currently Stellenbosch Chess Academy offers personal chess lessons in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Somerset West and surrounding areas. The academy also provides professional online lessons that can be booked from the website.
