About your tutor

I am a dedicated Chess tutor with 13 years of experience teaching high school and college students. My approach focuses on personalized learning, adapting lessons to fit the unique needs and goals of each student. I aim to make Chess not only a game but a valuable tool for developing critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. With a strong commitment to my students success, I create an engaging and supportive environment where they can grow at their own pace. Throughout my career, I have helped students improve their skills, with some achieving impressive results in local tournaments. I believe that Chess can teach valuable life lessons such as patience, focus, and resilience, and I strive to impart these qualities in my lessons. My unique skills include using real-life examples to explain complex strategies, making lessons both practical and relevant. Whether students are new to Chess or looking to refine their skills, I am dedicated to guiding them toward success and helping them unlock their full potential.

Teaching methodology

My teaching style for Chess is centered around real-life examples, collaboration, flexibility, creativity, and integrity. I use real-life case studies to connect Chess strategies to practical situations, helping students understand how the game can improve decision-making and critical thinking in everyday life. Collaboration plays a vital role in my methodology, as I encourage students to work together, share ideas, and learn from each other’s insights. This fosters a supportive learning environment where everyone can grow. I value flexibility in my teaching, adapting lessons to each students learning style and pace, ensuring that they feel comfortable and confident in their progress. Creativity is also key—by encouraging students to explore unique strategies and think outside the box, I keep them engaged and excited about learning. Above all, I emphasize integrity, creating a respectful and honest environment where students feel safe to take risks and learn from their mistakes. This approach applies not only to Chess but also to relevant subjects like problem-solving, critical thinking, and strategic planning, helping students develop skills they can use across various areas of their lives.
