About Livia

I am a dedicated Chess tutor with over 7 years of experience, having successfully taught more than 150 students ranging from complete beginners to advanced players. My passion for chess goes beyond the board—I see it as a tool for sharpening the mind, fostering patience, and building problem-solving skills that benefit students in every aspect of life. My teaching approach is built on **positivity, patience, and clear step-by-step guidance**. I break down strategies into simple, easy-to-grasp concepts, helping students understand not just *what* to play, but *why* each move matters. Whether you’re learning the basics, refining your openings, or preparing for competitive games, I adapt every lesson to your pace and goals. I also bring creativity into learning by using puzzles, game reviews, and interactive exercises to make every session engaging and enjoyable. My experience allows me to spot individual strengths and weaknesses quickly, turning them into opportunities for growth. With my guidance, students don’t just learn how to play—they learn how to think like a chess player, gaining the confidence to take on any challenge, both on and off the board.

My teaching methodology for Chess is built on **positivity, patience, and problem-solving**, creating an encouraging environment where every student can grow at their own pace. I believe chess is more than just a game—it’s a way to develop critical thinking, strategy, and focus that can be applied to many areas of life. Whether you’re a beginner learning the basic moves or an advanced player preparing for tournaments, I tailor each lesson to match your level and goals.

I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple, clear steps, so students don’t feel overwhelmed and instead gain confidence with each move they master. Through puzzles, real-game analysis, and strategy-building exercises, I help students sharpen their decision-making and learn to anticipate multiple possibilities on the board. Mistakes are seen as opportunities, and I use them to teach better approaches and improve resilience.

Alongside Chess, I can also guide students in other strategy-based games like Checkers, Risk, and Backgammon, reinforcing similar skills in a fun, interactive way. My goal is to not just teach rules and openings but to cultivate a mindset of creativity and curiosity, helping every learner discover the joy of thinking ahead and solving challenges—on the chessboard and beyond.
