About Rachel
With over a decade of experience in coaching strategic games, I have developed a deep expertise in Chess, Backgammon, Risk, Checkers, and Catan. My journey began with a personal passion for these games, which evolved into a professional career dedicated to teaching and mentoring players of all ages and skill levels. This extensive background allows me to offer a nuanced and comprehensive approach to learning, tailored to meet the unique needs of each student.
My approach to coaching is grounded in the belief that strategic games are more than just pastimes—they are tools for developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and strategic foresight. I strive to create a dynamic learning environment where students can explore different strategies, understand complex game mechanics, and enhance their overall gameplay. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine advanced strategies, I am committed to providing engaging and insightful instruction.
Throughout my coaching career, I have worked with a diverse range of students, each with their own goals and learning styles. This experience has taught me the importance of personalized instruction and the value of adapting my teaching methods to fit individual needs. From teaching the fundamentals of Chess to exploring the strategic depths of Risk and Catan, I tailor my lessons to ensure that every student can progress at their own pace and achieve their personal objectives.
My goal as a coach is to foster a love for strategic games while helping students achieve their full potential. I believe in the power of patience, encouragement, and constructive feedback to build confidence and skill. By creating a positive and supportive learning environment, I aim to inspire my students not only to excel in their games but also to enjoy the intellectual challenges and pleasures that these classic games offer.

Learning strategy games with a seasoned coach can significantly enhance your skills and enjoyment of the game. With over 10 years of coaching experience, I offer tailored lessons in Chess, Backgammon, Risk, Checkers, and Catan for players of all ages and skill levels. My approach combines foundational techniques with advanced strategies, ensuring that each session is both educational and engaging.
Each lesson is customized to meet the individual needs of the student, whether they are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player seeking to refine their strategy. In Chess, for instance, we cover everything from opening principles and mid-game tactics to endgame strategies. For Backgammon and Risk, we delve into probability calculations and long-term planning, while Checkers and Catan sessions focus on positional play and resource management.
My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and decision-making. By analyzing game scenarios and discussing various strategies, I help students develop a deeper understanding of the games and improve their ability to anticipate and counter their opponent’s moves. Practical exercises, including game simulations and puzzle-solving, are integral to my lessons, allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in real-time situations.
Creating a supportive and motivating environment is at the heart of my coaching approach. I believe that learning should be a positive and rewarding experience. Through patience, encouragement, and constructive feedback, I aim to build my students' confidence and foster a lifelong love for strategic games. Whether you aspire to compete at a high level or simply enjoy the games more fully, my lessons are designed to elevate your skills and deepen your appreciation for these timeless classics.
