About Colette
I have been teaching chess for over 6 years, helping players turn uncertainty into clarity on the board. My approach focuses on understanding why moves work, not just memorizing them. We explore openings that fit your style, whether aggressive, positional, or flexible. In the middlegame, I guide you through identifying key squares, strong plans, and tactical patterns. Endgame lessons teach you to convert small advantages into victories with precision. I use a mix of classical chess principles and modern analysis tools for well-rounded improvement. Lessons include real game reviews, targeted exercises, and custom study plans. I encourage active participation, asking questions, and thinking critically in every session. For tournament players, we simulate competitive conditions to build confidence and stamina. Beginners gain a solid foundation, while advanced players refine their skills for top performance. I believe chess mastery comes from patience, curiosity, and steady practice. Let’s strengthen your skills, expand your vision, and enjoy every move along the journey.

In my chess lessons, I balance solid theory with practical play. Openings are taught in a way that matches your playing style and comfort. Middlegame sessions focus on identifying strong plans and recognizing tactical chances. Endgame lessons are simplified into core principles you can apply in any position. I use puzzles, logic challenges, and timed exercises to train decision-making speed. Game theory and positional understanding are developed alongside tactical sharpness. Recreational elements like fun mini-games make learning lively. Your own games are reviewed to highlight strengths and fix weaknesses. Competitive players get specific preparation for tournament environments. Beginners build confidence through step-by-step learning. Advanced students polish their analytical depth and strategic creativity. My goal is to make every session productive, memorable, and inspiring.
