Mastery Evaluation
1-2 hours per week. Evaluation will be conducted during the session. Students will have the opportunity to receive ongoing feedback in different topic areas of their chess related to their experiences and how to improve.
Assessment
Ongoing assessment is normal for chess. The student will demonstrate in class their experiences through dialogue. Additional assessment will be ongoing as the student progresses over time; however, they will receive an assessment at the end of the meeting with notes of how to improve their chess beyond the lesson.

How will you teach?
Teaching will be a mix of direct consultation, 

Lectures explaining key concepts like chess training, goal setting, game history data analysis, and skill area development.

What’s your teaching style?
I believe in a hands-on, student-centered approach where learners actively engage with the material. Chess is best learned by doing and discussing experiences. I encourage questions, and my goal is to foster an environment of curiosity and growth. I balance explanations with plenty of opportunities for students to apply what they’ve learned right away.

How much will learners get to interact with you?
Interaction is a key element of this class. You will:

Participate in discussions about their chess background, goals, current training regiment, game experiences, and skill areas.
Assessment feedback and training plan writeup.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about their chess holistically.
How to identify weaknesses and strengths.
