About Philip

My approach is strategic and student-centered with an emphasis on understanding over memorization—teaching tactics, positional play, endgame fundamentals, and decision-making skills. My competitive experience helps me build tournament-ready players. I adapt my teaching to the student’s style and goals—whether casual improvement or rated competition—incorporating classic games, puzzles, and real-time analysis to build both intuition and discipline. Each session begins with a review of previous material or games played, followed by a new tactical or strategic concept. We then apply it through interactive exercises, guided analysis, and gameplay. Homework may include puzzles or annotated games for review. Whether a beginner or intermediate class player looking to improve rapidly and sharpen their skills, learn from an experienced, patient tutor with a passion for teaching the game.
