Hi! I'm Mehmet Erdem Kayar
I have the privilege of being the founder & visionary behind C4C.
As a FIDE titled trainer (FT), player (CM) and also as a teacher (& a continuous learner) of philosophy, I bring a wealth of experience from my roles in national teams, including trainer, player, and manager. Over the years, I have had the honor of teaching thousands of students in schools, chess camps, trainers seminars and national teams including international prize winners. My pedagogic formation, combined with a BA in Philosophy and an MA in Economics, solidifies my expertise in creating effective and engaging learning environments. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. focused on sociology of education, further demonstrating my commitment to academic & pedagogic excellence.
