COACHING
Three pillars of my chess instructions
... and motivation in chess.
Chess skills & Competence
Students acquire knowledge about tactical motifs, chess calculation, and strategic play. I empower students to feel competent in their skills and their ability to learn.
Autonomy & Independence
Students are in charge of their learning and workload. I support their goals, offer guidance, and provide resources. I focus on students' individual and current (!) needs.
Connection & Fun
Students need to enjoy our lessons, be engaged, and feel that our collaboration is meaningful. I aim to building positive environment to support chess learning.
PRIVATE || CHESS CLASSES
Private chess coaching and classes are the most effective way to learn chess. I offer online chess coaching for kids and adults, and I work with other instructors to bring your chess to the next level.
These chess lessons and chess coaching provides a direct, evidence-based, and customized chess plan to meet the needs of each individual student and to optimize and calibrate their growth.
GROUP || CHESS CLASSES
Group lessons and groups chess classes are excellent for learning to play chess. They're also a great alternative to private chess coaching as they support you and your fellow group members on your chess journey.
Group chess classes are fun, cost effective, introduce you to new friends and peers with similar chess skills, and encourage positive competition. During the first portion of class, instructors provide chess instructions which are followed by hands-on experience of position/game play between students, and then analysis of those games.
