About Thea

I am a chess tutor with over 9 years of experience and an Associate of Arts in Chess Fundamentals. I help students prepare for tournaments, club matches, and team competitions. My lessons focus on building solid openings, tactical awareness, and endgame skills. I emphasize strategic thinking, time management, and calculating several moves ahead. I guide students in analyzing games to learn from mistakes and recognize patterns. My approach encourages creative problem-solving and adaptive thinking. I focus on both individual improvement and collaborative team play. Lessons include exercises to strengthen positional understanding and practical decision-making. My teaching style is supportive, encouraging, and goal-oriented. Students develop confidence, focus, and critical thinking. I enjoy watching them grow in both skill and strategy. Lessons are structured yet engaging to keep learning fun. Together, we explore the challenges and excitement of chess. I help students achieve excellence in every game they play.

About the lesson

My teaching approach focuses on helping students think creatively while making strong, strategic decisions in chess. I guide them through openings, tactics, and endgame strategies with clear structure. Lessons emphasize pattern recognition, positional understanding, and planning ahead. I encourage students to analyze games and experiment with different strategies. My methodology blends creative thinking with logical problem-solving. Students learn to translate ideas into concrete moves on the board. I work with beginners building fundamentals as well as advanced players aiming for tournaments. Each session includes exercises to strengthen calculation, visualization, and timing. I help students understand how to anticipate opponents’ responses. Lessons focus on decision-making, adaptability, and confidence under pressure. I support students in developing both skill and intuition. Games are studied to inspire creativity and strategy simultaneously. Together, we turn ideas into effective gameplay. Chess becomes a space for both mental challenge and creative exploration.
