About Maria
I have been teaching chess for six years, guiding learners of various ages and skill levels. My experience ranges from helping complete beginners understand the rules to assisting advanced students in refining their strategies for competitions and tournament play. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that balances patience with structured learning. I emphasize clear explanations, step-by-step improvement, and positive reinforcement so students not only learn faster but also develop a long-term appreciation for the intellectual depth of chess. Chess is more than a game to me—it’s a discipline that teaches focus, problem-solving, and perseverance. My goal is to share these values with students, ensuring that every learner not only becomes stronger at chess but also gains useful skills for life.

Learning chess with me means developing skills that go beyond the board. Each lesson emphasizes understanding core concepts such as piece development, tactical awareness, and opening principles. Students gradually build confidence while learning to recognize patterns, anticipate moves, and think strategically under pressure.
My lessons focus on practical improvement through guided play, analysis of famous games, and solving challenging puzzles. Students not only memorize moves but also grasp the reasoning behind strategies, which helps strengthen logical thinking, creativity, and adaptability in competitive situations.
Every session is tailored to the learner’s goals. Whether preparing for tournaments, improving rating online, or simply enjoying chess as a hobby, lessons are designed to be both engaging and effective. The approach ensures steady progress, consistency, and genuine enjoyment.
