About Shivanga
Why Learn Chess With Me?
I am a passionate and dedicated chess instructor who believes that every student has the potential to think strategically and succeed—not just in chess, but in life. My goal is to create a learning environment that is supportive, structured, and inspiring, where students feel confident to grow at their own pace.
I combine clear teaching methods with practical gameplay, ensuring that students don’t just learn moves, but truly understand the game. With a strong focus on discipline, focus, and smart decision-making, my lessons go beyond chess and help students develop skills that are essential for the future.
Professional & Reliable Learning Experience
• Well-structured lessons tailored to each student’s level
• Clear explanations with step-by-step guidance
• Patient, friendly, and approachable teaching style
• Regular feedback to track improvement and progress
• Strong emphasis on consistency and practice
What Makes Me Stand Out?
I bring a unique approach by blending chess with entrepreneurial thinking and future-ready skills. Students learn how to:
• Think ahead and plan strategically
• Analyze situations and make smart decisions
• Stay calm and focused under pressure
This makes my classes not only educational but also highly practical for real-world success.
A Promise to My Students
I am committed to maintaining a professional, respectful, and motivating environment in every class. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your skills, I will guide you step-by-step and ensure you see real progress.

I believe chess is not just a game—it’s a powerful tool to develop critical thinking, patience, and strategic decision-making. My teaching approach focuses on making learning interactive, practical, and enjoyable, while preparing students for real-world problem-solving.
♟️ Teaching Techniques & Methods
• Concept-based learning: I focus on understanding why a move is played, not just memorizing openings.
• Step-by-step progression: From basics to advanced strategies, tailored to each student’s level.
• Interactive gameplay: Regular practice games with guidance and feedback.
• Real-game analysis: Studying famous matches and student games to improve thinking patterns.
• Problem-solving exercises: Puzzles to sharpen tactical and logical skills.
Structure of a Typical Class
1. Warm-up (5–10 mins) – Quick puzzles or revision of previous concepts
2. Concept Learning (15–20 mins) – New strategy, opening, or tactic
3. Practice Session (20–30 mins) – Guided gameplay or exercises
4. Game Analysis (10–15 mins) – Review mistakes and improvements
5. Homework/Challenge – Optional puzzles or mini-tasks for practice
