About the tutor

I am Mariami Janiashvili, a professional titled chess player (WFM) with over a decade of experience in both competitive play and teaching. I am a 7-time Tbilisi Champion, Georgian G18 Champion, and was a proud member of the Georgian Olympic Team at the 2018 Batumi Chess Olympiad. My passion for chess has taken me across the globe, where I’ve won numerous international tournaments. Beyond my own achievements, I am deeply committed to teaching. I work on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, Lichess, and Chess.com, where I guide students of all levels. I’m proud to have helped one of my students become the North American Champion in the Under-10 Girls category. I also manage school chess lessons and work as a social media manager and support specialist for Chess Armory. My teaching style is not only focused on improving chess skills but also on making the lessons fun and engaging. I believe learning chess should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I am friendly, approachable, and I strive to create a positive environment where my students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. Fluent in Georgian, Russian, and English, I love combining my passion for chess with technology, offering lessons that are interactive, exciting, and tailored to each student’s needs. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, I’m confident I can help you improve while making our lessons fun and inspiring!

Teaching methodology

My teaching methodology is centered around making chess both enjoyable and educational, tailored to each student’s individual needs and skill level. I believe in a student-focused approach, where I first assess the strengths and weaknesses of each player. From there, I develop personalized lessons that target specific areas for improvement while reinforcing strong fundamentals. I emphasize interactive learning, encouraging my students to think critically and actively participate in every lesson. Through a combination of game analysis, tactical exercises, and strategy discussions, I help students build a solid understanding of chess principles. My lessons are designed to be fun, engaging, and stress-free, fostering a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and trying new ideas. I integrate technology into my teaching, using online platforms, puzzles, and game reviews to enhance the learning experience. I also provide homework and follow-up materials for students to practice between lessons. With regular feedback and structured lesson plans, my goal is to ensure steady progress and keep the learning process enjoyable and motivating for every student.
