About Tessa
As a passionate Chess Grandmaster and experienced educator, my journey in chess began at a young age, driven by a fascination with the game's intricacies and strategic depth. With over three years of dedicated teaching experience, I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for chess with students of all ages and backgrounds.
My own journey to becoming a Grandmaster has equipped me with a deep understanding of chess theory, opening preparation, middle game strategies, and endgame techniques. I bring this wealth of knowledge and practical expertise into my teaching, aiming to inspire and empower students to develop their own analytical and strategic skills.
In my role as a chess educator, I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore and excel. I believe in a personalized approach to teaching, tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs and goals of each student. Whether coaching beginners in the fundamentals of chess or guiding advanced players through complex tactical scenarios, I emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and sportsmanship.
Continuous learning is essential to my teaching philosophy. I stay updated with the latest developments in chess theory and teaching methodologies through ongoing study, participation in tournaments, and collaboration with fellow chess professionals. This commitment to growth enables me to provide innovative and effective instruction that meets the evolving needs of my students.
Above all, my goal is to foster a lifelong love for chess and equip students with the skills and confidence to succeed both on and off the chessboard. Through patience, dedication, and a passion for the game, I am dedicated to supporting each student's journey towards achieving their chess goals and discovering the joy of strategic thinking and competition.

My chess lessons are designed to engage and challenge students of all ages and skill levels, fostering a deep understanding of the game while honing critical thinking and strategic skills. With a foundation in chess theory and over three years of teaching experience, I aim to create an enriching learning environment where students can thrive.
Each lesson begins by assessing the student's current level of knowledge and skill. For beginners, we start with fundamental concepts such as piece movement, basic tactics, and the rules of the game. As students progress, we delve into more advanced strategies, including opening principles, middle game tactics, positional play, and endgame techniques.
I believe in a hands-on approach to learning chess, integrating practical exercises, puzzles, and interactive games to reinforce concepts and improve decision-making abilities. Through simulated games and analysis of historical and contemporary matches, students learn to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios, enhancing their ability to strategize and adapt during gameplay.
Beyond technical proficiency, my lessons emphasize sportsmanship, patience, and perseverance. I encourage students to learn from both victories and defeats, fostering resilience and a growth mindset. By nurturing a positive and supportive learning environment, I aim to inspire a lifelong passion for chess and empower students to achieve their full potential, whether in friendly matches, tournaments, or personal enrichment.
Regular feedback and evaluation are integral to my teaching methodology. I provide constructive critiques, highlight areas for improvement, and set achievable goals to track progress over time. This personalized approach ensures that each student receives tailored guidance and support to reach their individual chess goals and develop as strategic thinkers.
Ultimately, my goal is to instill a love for the complexities and strategic depth of chess while equipping students with valuable life skills that extend beyond the chessboard. Whether students aspire to compete competitively, enhance cognitive abilities, or simply enjoy the intellectual challenge of the game, my lessons are designed to nurture their growth and success in chess and beyond.
