Chess strategies developed through supportive collaboration

Greetings! I am a certified Chess tutor with over 11 years of enriching tutoring experience. With a Bachelors degree in Psychology, I bring a unique perspective to teaching chess, focusing not only on strategic gameplay but also on cognitive development and critical thinking skills. Throughout my career, I have successfully guided middle school and high school students in preparing for chess tournaments, enhancing their gameplay, and providing valuable homework assistance.

Teaching chess effectively involves a structured methodology that cultivates critical thinking, strategic planning, and analytical skills. Start with basic rules and chess notation, ensuring students understand how each piece moves and the objective of the game. Progress to tactical themes such as forks, pins, and skewers, using puzzles and interactive exercises to reinforce these concepts. Teach positional principles such as controlling the center, pawn structure, and piece coordination through annotated games and practical examples
