About Maris
My teaching methodology for Chess is built around Motivation, Accountability, and Open-mindedness. I believe that every student has the potential to excel when learning is guided with encouragement and clear goals. By motivating students through structured challenges and celebrating milestones, I help them stay engaged, confident, and excited about improving their Chess skills.
I encourage students to take ownership of their learning by tracking progress, reflecting on games, and setting personal objectives. This helps them develop discipline, responsibility, and a growth mindset, ensuring steady improvement in Fundamentals, Openings, Middlegames, and Endgames while reinforcing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
I use interactive methods such as game analysis, puzzles, and practical exercises to make complex strategies accessible. In addition to Chess, I also teach related subjects, applying the same motivating, accountable, and flexible approach to help students succeed academically and develop strategic thinking that goes beyond the game.

As a passionate and dedicated Chess tutor with over 4 years of experience, I specialize in guiding students of all levels from school to college through the intricate and fascinating world of Chess. My primary goal is to make learning Chess both accessible and enjoyable for every student. I focus on building a strong foundation in the game, helping learners understand key concepts and strategies in Fundamentals, Openings, Middlegames, and Endgames. I believe that Chess is not only a game but also a tool to develop critical thinking, patience, and problem-solving skills that benefit students beyond the board.
I incorporate a variety of innovative methods, including detailed game analysis, challenging puzzle-solving exercises, and engaging online simulations, which allow students to apply strategies in practical scenarios. By breaking down complex tactics into simple, understandable steps, I help students build confidence in their decision-making and gradually develop a deeper understanding of the game. Each session is designed to encourage curiosity, strategic thinking, and a genuine passion for improvement.
I place strong emphasis on creating a supportive and motivating learning environment where students feel encouraged to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them. By fostering accountability, motivation, and open-mindedness, I empower students to take ownership of their progress and develop their own strategies. Beyond Chess, I also offer guidance in related subjects, applying the same structured and thoughtful approach to enhance overall academic performance and problem-solving abilities. My aim is to ensure that every student not only improves their Chess skills but also gains confidence, analytical thinking, and the joy of mastering the game.
