About Mara
With 7 years of experience teaching chess to high school and college students, I am deeply committed to fostering a personalized learning environment that meets the unique needs of each student. My passion for chess goes beyond just the game; I strive to instill critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving skills that benefit my students both on and off the board.
Throughout my teaching career, I have developed a unique approach that combines traditional strategies with creative tactics, helping students explore various styles of play. I emphasize open communication, encouraging students to voice their thoughts and questions, which builds their confidence and understanding of the game.
In addition to my expertise in chess, I bring strong analytical skills and a talent for breaking down complex concepts into manageable lessons. I pride myself on my ability to connect with students and adapt my teaching methods to suit their individual learning styles. Together, we will embark on a journey to not only improve your chess skills but also enhance your overall strategic thinking and decision-making abilities.

My teaching style for chess emphasizes **Creativity**, **Communication**, **Compassion**, and **Problem-solving**. I believe that chess is not just a game of strategy but also a wonderful way to develop critical thinking skills and creativity. I encourage students to think outside the box and explore unique strategies that suit their playing style.
**Communication** is key in my approach. I foster an open dialogue, inviting students to ask questions and express their thoughts. This helps build their confidence and enhances their understanding of the game. I also practice **compassion**, recognizing that every student learns at their own pace. I provide a supportive environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth, ensuring that students feel safe to experiment and learn.
Finally, I focus on **problem-solving** techniques, guiding students through complex positions and encouraging them to analyze different scenarios. In addition to chess, I can teach related subjects like strategy games and critical thinking skills, making lessons both comprehensive and enjoyable. Together, we will create a fun and inspiring learning journey!
