About Colin

I’ve been teaching chess for more than 6 years, working with students across various ages and experience levels. My teaching emphasises understanding over memorisation and aims to build both confidence and curiosity. I enjoy breaking down complex positions into manageable lessons that spark improvement and creativity on the board. Having studied and played chess for years, I bring a well-rounded approach rooted in logic, discipline, and enthusiasm. I’ve helped students prepare for school tournaments, improve their online ratings, and deepen their overall appreciation for the game. My sessions are interactive, engaging, and goal-driven. I believe chess is not just a game, but a tool for sharpening focus, patience, and strategic thought. My approach balances theory with application, ensuring students learn how to think critically and play thoughtfully. I strive to make each lesson insightful, motivating, and tailored to every learner’s unique path.

About the lesson

Chess lessons begin with understanding the core principles of the game—piece movement, board control, and opening fundamentals. For newer players, I focus on developing a strong foundation through structured games, tactical puzzles, and key strategic concepts. Early sessions build comfort with both play and analysis, ensuring steady improvement from the first move. As players progress, we delve into tactical motifs, positional planning, and mastering popular openings. Lessons include reviewing annotated games, solving advanced puzzles, and identifying common mistakes through guided practice. The goal is to enhance decision-making and pattern recognition so students can think ahead with clarity and confidence. Advanced sessions introduce in-depth endgame theory, calculation drills, and tournament preparation strategies. We analyse classic games and dissect student matches to reinforce concepts and eliminate weaknesses. Whether for casual competition or rated play, lessons are customised to challenge each learner and support their chess ambitions.
