About Lena

I have 9 years of experience tutoring Chess to students of all ages, including school children, college students, and working professionals. My teaching philosophy focuses on building strong fundamentals while encouraging creativity and strategic thinking. I believe that Chess is not just a game but a valuable tool to improve problem-solving skills, patience, and focus. In my lessons, I create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable exploring new ideas and learning from their mistakes. I tailor each lesson to the student’s individual needs and goals, whether they want to compete in tournaments, improve their rating, or simply enjoy playing better Chess. Over the years, I have helped many students achieve success in local and regional Chess competitions. I also guide learners through opening strategies, middle-game tactics, and endgame techniques to develop well-rounded players. My goal is to make Chess learning fun and effective, helping students grow their confidence and love for the game. Whether you are a beginner or looking to sharpen advanced skills, I am here to support your journey every step of the way.

My teaching methodology is built around five key principles: communication, motivation, accountability, creativity, and flexibility. I believe clear communication between tutor and student creates a strong foundation for learning. I encourage open dialogue so that you feel comfortable asking questions and sharing your goals.

Motivation is at the heart of every lesson. I work to inspire your interest and passion for the subject, making learning enjoyable and rewarding. To help you stay on track, I emphasize accountability through setting clear goals and regular progress checks.

Creativity plays a big role in my teaching style. I tailor lessons to your unique needs, interests, and learning style, finding new ways to make complex ideas simple and engaging. This keeps lessons fresh and relevant to you.

Flexibility is also important. I adapt my teaching methods based on your pace and preferences, whether you prefer structured guidance or a more exploratory approach.

While I specialize in Chess, my teaching methods apply well to other subjects too. I focus on building your skills step-by-step while supporting your confidence and independence.

Together, these methods create a learning experience that is supportive, motivating, and effective. My goal is to help you reach your full potential with clarity and enjoyment.
