Radwa is an engineer, educator, and international chess player currently competing in the German chess league in Berlin. She specialises in designing psychology-informed learning experiences that blend strategic thinking, cognitive skills training, and real-time decision-making.

“On sixty-four squares, I learned focus when life felt chaotic, flexibility when plans failed, and patience when outcomes demanded ego to rest. Every move is an act of self-reflection.”
Train Your Brain Chess Academy was established in Germany and is now expanding to Egypt. We've already introduced our Mental Fitness Club concept in Cairo, and look forward to building new partnerships with communities that value learning, well-being, and meaningful social engagement.
