Class Experience

US Grade 6
Beginner - Advanced Level
My approach involves analyzing my students' games to identify their weaknesses, and then creating targeted lecture and training materials to address those areas. I believe the best way to improve at chess is a serious focus on weak points. We start by reviewing games and determining where each student's greatest difficulties lie in chess. I have a variety of exercises for each area, and areas are updated as students improve and play more games.

What Will Be Taught?
Students will learn a range of chess concepts including openings, middle-game strategies, endgame techniques, and tactical patterns. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving skills through the game of chess.

Topics Covered
Chess fundamentals (piece movements, basic rules)
Opening principles and common openings
Middle-game tactics and strategies
Endgame techniques
Analyzing famous games and understanding grandmaster strategies
Customized topics based on individual student needs
Class Structure
Each class is structured to include a mix of lectures, interactive activities, and practice games. Here’s a typical breakdown:

Introduction and Review: Brief review of previous lessons and addressing any questions.
Lecture: In-depth discussion on the day's topic, using slides and video clips.
Interactive Analysis: Review of students’ games to identify strengths and weaknesses.
Practice Games: Students play games to apply what they've learned, with real-time feedback.
Discussion: Open floor for questions, clarifications, and strategic discussions.
Homework and Challenges: Assignments or puzzles to solve before the next class.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is positive, patient, and supportive. I strive to create an engaging and inclusive environment where every student feels comfortable to ask questions and express their thoughts. I focus on interactive learning, encouraging students to think critically and independently.


Looking forward to guiding you on your chess journey!
