Chess classes overview
As a chess tutor, I cater to students of all levels by offering an engaging, patient, interactive, adaptable, and problem-solving teaching methodology. I provide personalized feedback on strategies and decision-making from your games, promoting growth and learning. By using competitive and collaborative games, I assess strategic thinking skills and point out resources that you may not have considered in your games. I believe in using games as a fun and effective tool to teach cognitive skills. If there's a specific area that you need help on, I can also provide recommendations on resources you can use to improve, such as books or any online resources.

Games concept taught by Talha
Talha coached Meghan on chess, covering Fool's Mate, Scholar's Mate, and general tactical awareness. They reviewed Meghan's recent games, analyzing missed opportunities and strategic improvements, and discussed space advantage and piece trading. Talha assigned worksheets and puzzles for Meghan to practice, focusing on mate-in-one scenarios and custom checkmate exercises, with a plan to introduce mate-in-two puzzles later.
