About Frances
New players often find the board overwhelming because they focus on individual pieces instead of the whole picture. Chess is not just about moving pieces but about patience and calculation. I help students master pawn structures, recording and notation, and time management.
Tactical patterns and piece coordination remain the core of my teaching philosophy. My MA in Cognitive Science helps me simplify complex ideas. Beginners deserve a clear path to improvement. I will help you reach your goals.

Many beginners struggle to build a coherent opening repertoire during their first few games. This common confusion makes early play feel like a guessing game.
By applying cognitive science principles, we focus on pattern recognition and tournament preparation. Building a solid opening repertoire for you is my primary objective. We refine your decision making process. Please reach out if you want to start playing with confidence.
