About Tessa
Chess became my focus through hours of practice as a junior player. I have spent 13 years refining my approach to the board. My method relies on time management, calculation, visualization, and constant blunder checking.
Mastering complex pawn structures is essential for a competitive mindset. I also emphasize recording, notation, endgame technique, positional understanding, and middlegame planning alongside opening principles. Connecting with students from club juniors to improving adults remains a sincere joy.

Studying the game becomes accessible when you engage with structured weekly curated puzzle sets. These 10.0 minute segments ensure we maintain steady progress throughout our time together.
Using my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from American University of Sharjah, I explain patterns with absolute clarity. 6.0 distinct frameworks guide our analysis of specific positions during these meetings.
We focus on clarity of thought rather than quick wins. Expect a calm environment where moves are debated based on logic and historical theory.
Our work together prioritizes the slow, methodical improvement that defines a real chess player. The goal is to build a foundation that supports your growth over any months. I am happy to help you see the board more clearly.
