About Trent
I am a passionate chess tutor with over 7 years of experience, specialising in helping **college students** sharpen their skills and strategic thinking. My lessons go beyond simply teaching moves—I focus on building a deep understanding of tactics, openings, and endgame strategies. I believe learning chess should be engaging, so I use **interactive methods** like puzzle challenges, real-game analysis, and scenario-based exercises that make each lesson exciting and memorable. I also bring innovative tools into my teaching, from **digital chess boards** to online analysis platforms, so students can see their progress in real time and learn with modern resources. My approach is flexible, adapting to each student’s level—whether you’re refining your competitive edge or rediscovering chess as a hobby. Above all, I create a **supportive, motivating space** where mistakes turn into learning opportunities and every step forward is celebrated. Chess is more than a game—it’s a way to think smarter, stay focused, and enjoy the challenge of outsmarting your opponent.

My teaching approach for chess is built on communication, empathy, flexibility, cultural sensitivity, and integrity. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt lessons to their level—whether they’re just learning the moves or preparing for tournaments. Through clear explanations and interactive games, I help students understand strategies like openings, tactics, and endgame planning in a way that feels engaging, not overwhelming. I use puzzles, practice games, and real match analysis to sharpen thinking and decision-making. For those curious beyond chess, I can also guide them in related games like checkers, backgammon, Risk, and Settlers of Catan, showing how strategy connects across them all. Above all, I focus on creating a supportive environment where mistakes are stepping stones and progress is celebrated. My goal is not just to teach games—but to help students build confidence, patience, and a love for strategic thinking they can use on and off the board.
