Dear Parents and Learners! Thank you for your interest my ongoing Chess Club for Rookies. This class is a weekly game session where students practise tactic and strategies by solving puzzles and having fun together. In this class, we will run a number of puzzles for each student and analyze together. In the end, we will have a free discussion period and the students are free to share their own puzzles. The puzzles will increase in difficulty as we progress in the class. Everyone will have a chance to solve a challenging puzzle depending on their strengths and weaknesses. The students are expected to understand the basic rules of the chess game. Each week, we will focus on a different tactic or opening and how to use it in a game. Fall schedule: January: Week 1 (6-12): London System Accelerated Week 2 (13-19): Fork Week 3 (20-26): Symmetrical Variation Week 4 (27-2): Sacrifice February: Week 1 (3-9): Pin Week 2 (10-16): Elephant Gambit Week 3 (17-23): Discovered Attack Week 4 (24-2): Scotch Gambit March: Week 1 (27-2): Intermezzo Week 2 (3-9): English Opening Week 3 (10-16): Trapped Piece Week 4 (17-23): King's English Variation April: Week 1 (1-7): Modern Benoni Week 2 (8-14): Old Benoni For the Fall season, a new list of tactics will be posted. Feel free to send suggestions, especially if you want to review a specific one! Here is the structure of the class: - 5 minutes of introduction where we can share progress or discoveries - 30 minutes of puzzles and analysis - Last 10 minutes: Challenge puzzle and optional game Discussion rules: - This is a time for discussion and analysis for any students who have questions or who wants to discuss their own puzzles. You are free to ask any questions and everyone can feel free to join in respectfully. - If you feel uncomfortable about sharing your game or asking any questions, you can send your questions in the chat and I will respond to you privately after. I will invite everyone to talk, but no one is obligated to participate if they wish to listen. This class is open for debutants or any players who want to do any reviews. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to communicate with me. Warmly, Louisa

Dear parents and learners,
Welcome to my profile! Thank you for your interest in my classes.
I have a degree in psychology from McGill University with a strong interest in child development. Previously, I worked on multiple projects on the development of e-health tools for breast cancer prevention at the Loiselle Lab and education-related studies at the Pragmatic Lab at McGill where we experimented to better understand young participants’ learning process on screens. To further my insight on the delivery of information online and e-learning, I am currently conducting research on the effects of Zoom fatigue as a graduate student at Laval University.
I have more than 5 years of teaching experience working with children from the age of 6 to 14, from the McGill joint program like the Taylor Adolescent program at the Montreal Fluency Center to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry program at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. I also taught ESL online to children from China and Japan. In addition to working with children, I worked as a teaching assistant for the sleep mechanism course at McGill. (Highly recommend it!)
These experiences equipped me with scientific knowledge, strong observational skills and flexibility to adapt my teaching style to work with students from different cultural backgrounds or with different needs. I believe that learning is supported through intrinsic motivation and a growth mindset. In addition to the content learning, It is important for all learners to understand the learning process and psychology. For this reason, I put a great emphasizes on breaking down each step and representing all ideas as concretely as possible through imagery. Lastly, the best way for knowledge to stick is through fun discussions and real-life applications. My vision is for my students to become independent learners and be able to improve their own study plan according to their strength and weaknesses.
Lastly, and most importantly, I played chess throughout my childhood and I wish to introduce my passion to young learners. I played competitively in Canada for many years, notably at the Canadian Youth Chess Championship and had the chance to represent my country in international competitions such as the World Youth Chess Championship. I think this game is a fun way to develop strategies, analysis, planning, empathy and most importantly, make friends with others and the self.
I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
Warm regards,
