About Elise
I am a chess tutor with over 9 years of experience and an Associate of Arts in Chess Fundamentals. I specialize in helping students prepare for tournaments, team competitions, and club matches. My lessons focus on tactical awareness, strategic planning, and endgame proficiency. I teach visualization, calculation, and pattern recognition to strengthen decision-making. Lessons include opening preparation, middle-game strategies, and endgame exercises. I encourage students to analyze their games and develop creative solutions. My approach balances individual growth with collaborative team play. I emphasize confidence, composure, and adaptability under pressure. Students gain focus, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Lessons are engaging, structured, and tailored to each student’s goals. I enjoy seeing students develop both skill and a love for the game. Each session builds understanding, strategy, and practical experience. Together, we explore the depth and excitement of chess.

I work with beginners and competitive players alike. Each session balances structured learning with creative exploration. Students develop confidence, focus, and adaptability in all aspects of play. I help them analyze games and recognize opportunities on the board. Lessons build both technical skill and strategic intuition. Students leave ready to apply their ideas effectively in real games. Together, we explore chess as a creative and strategic challenge.
