About Olive
I have over 9 years of experience as a chess tutor and hold an Associate of Arts in Chess Fundamentals. I specialize in coaching students for tournaments, club matches, and team competitions. Lessons focus on tactical skill, strategic thinking, and endgame precision. I emphasize visualization, calculation, and pattern recognition to improve decision-making. Students work on openings, middlegame techniques, and positional play. I encourage both creative thinking and disciplined strategy. My teaching balances individual improvement with collaborative team play. Lessons are supportive, structured, and engaging. Students gain confidence, focus, and analytical skills. I enjoy helping them explore the depth and excitement of chess. Each session strengthens both technical ability and strategic insight. Together, we prepare students for success in every game.

Exercises include tactical challenges, game analysis, and creative problem-solving. Each session balances technical mastery with exploration of personal ideas. Students develop strategic insight, focus, and adaptability. I help them plan moves and recognize opportunities in real games. Lessons are engaging, supportive, and motivating. Students leave with new skills and inspiration. Together, we explore chess as both a mental challenge and a creative pursuit.
