About Finn

I am a dedicated chess tutor with over 7 years of experience, having successfully taught more than 150 students from absolute beginners to advanced players. My teaching approach combines patience, strategy, and encouragement, helping learners develop a deep understanding of chess while enjoying the process. I break down complex concepts like openings, tactics, and endgames into clear, simple steps, ensuring students build strong foundations before moving to higher-level play. I focus on fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence on and off the board. My lessons are interactive, using game analysis, puzzles, and guided practice to make learning engaging and effective. Beyond chess, I incorporate strategy-based games like backgammon, Risk, and checkers to sharpen decision-making skills and broaden students’ strategic mindset. Whether you’re preparing for tournaments, improving casual play, or exploring chess for the first time, I tailor each session to your goals and pace. My goal is to help every student not only become a better player but also develop a lasting passion for the game.

About the lesson

My teaching methodology for chess is built around **positivity, patience, and problem-solving**, creating an environment where students feel supported and motivated to grow. I believe chess is more than just a game—it’s a way to develop focus, strategic thinking, and resilience. Lessons are tailored to each student’s level, from absolute beginners learning how the pieces move to advanced players preparing for tournaments. I break down concepts like openings, tactics, and endgames into clear, manageable steps, ensuring students truly understand before moving forward.

Patience is key to my approach—I encourage students to learn from mistakes, see patterns, and think critically, all at their own pace. To keep sessions engaging, I incorporate puzzles, game analysis, and friendly challenges that make learning interactive and fun. I also teach related strategy-based games like backgammon, checkers, and Risk, which complement chess by sharpening decision-making and adaptability.

Above all, I aim to help every learner build confidence on the board and beyond. By combining structure with creativity, I guide students to not only play better chess but also to enjoy the journey of thinking like a true strategist.
