Improve Your Chess Ablity with an Experienced Chess Enthusiast. Learn Through Fun, Interactive Puzzles and Practical Game Experience.

I'm Louie Easton, an enthusiastic online tutor with a Master’s degree in Mathematics. I offer chess tutoring from beginner to advanced levels. I have a Chess.com rapid rating of 1900 and experience competing in a range of tournaments and matches throughout my lifetime. This includes representing my county in tournments and playing classical matches at University. My teaching style is interactive and engaging, with a strong focus on essential chess principles. This helps students recognise key patterns and improve their decision-making over time. I also tutor mathematics from GCSE up to A-level, supporting students who want help understanding challenging concepts or building confidence in the subject. With a year of experience as a maths tutor, I take a patient, structured, and encouraging approach to help learners achieve their goals.

My chess tutoring methodology centres on hands-on practice, strategic thinking, and tactical awareness. I help students improve their ability to visualise several moves ahead and to develop a deeper understanding of the game’s structure. I primarily use Chess.com and Lichess to share instructive examples, strengthen pattern recognition, and play guided training games with students. For beginners, I emphasise core principles such as controlling the centre, developing pieces efficiently, and recognising common tactical motifs. For more advanced players, I introduce more complex skills, including multi-move visualisation, deeper positional understanding, and a repertoire of effective openings. I always aim to challenge students at a level that keeps lessons enjoyable, rewarding, and firmly focused on growth through learning from past mistakes.
