About Sophie
I bring 10+ years of experience as a chess coach, guiding students in both individual and group settings. My specialty lies in cultivating collaboration, strategy, and confidence among players. I’ve worked with schools, clubs, and community groups to create chess programs that combine skill-building with teamwork. I design lessons that include puzzles, game simulations, and collective analysis. Students learn how to handle openings, sharpen their tactical skills, and develop reliable endgames. Group discussions are a cornerstone of my approach, as they help players see different perspectives. I encourage students to share their thought process, ask questions, and reflect together. Over time, they not only improve their playing strength but also their ability to work with others. I’ve seen countless students thrive when they realize chess is more than just winning—it’s about growth. My lessons are both challenging and supportive. I aim to create lasting skills in focus, calculation, and creativity. Let’s explore how far you can go with chess when learning as part of a team.

Chess learning with me is about building confidence step by step. We start with simple tactics, then move to strategy and positional play. Each lesson is designed to strengthen both skills and mindset. I believe repetition and review are key, so I use puzzles, quizzes, and replayed positions often. Students learn how to see opportunities and avoid traps. For Exam Takers, I create structured programs to prepare them fully. For casual learners, I ensure lessons feel engaging and fun. I also focus on time control and emotional balance, which are often overlooked but critical. Mistakes are used as teaching moments, never discouragements. I encourage every student to ask questions, take risks, and think creatively. My lessons aim to make chess feel clear, not complicated. Over time, each student builds independence and resilience. With the right guidance, every move becomes a confident step forward.
