About Leah
With 3 years of experience in chess coaching, I am dedicated to helping school students develop their chess skills and foster a love for the game. My journey with chess began with a deep fascination for its strategic depth and complexity, which inspired me to share my knowledge and passion through teaching. Over the years, I have worked with a diverse group of students, guiding them from their first moves to more advanced strategies.
My teaching approach is focused on personalization and engagement. I tailor each lesson to the individual needs and goals of my students, whether they are just starting out or preparing for competitive play. By assessing their current skill level, I create customized lesson plans that emphasize strategy, tactics, and openings, ensuring that each student receives instruction that is both relevant and effective.
In addition to my technical expertise, I bring a supportive and encouraging attitude to my coaching. I understand that chess can be both challenging and rewarding, and I strive to create a positive learning environment where students feel motivated and inspired. My goal is to build their confidence and help them enjoy the learning process while achieving their chess goals.
My commitment to staying current with the latest developments in chess theory and practice ensures that my teaching remains innovative and impactful. By continuously learning and adapting my methods, I provide high-quality instruction that supports students' growth and prepares them for success in competitions. My passion for chess and teaching drives me to offer a rich and rewarding experience for every student.

Our chess lessons are specially designed for school students, focusing on developing their skills in a structured and engaging way. Each lesson begins with an assessment to determine the student's current level and goals. Based on this, I create a tailored lesson plan that addresses specific areas for improvement, ensuring that each student receives targeted and effective instruction.
A core component of our lessons is strategy. We delve into various strategic concepts such as piece development, controlling the center, and creating a strong position. Understanding these principles helps students make more informed decisions during their games and develop a deeper grasp of chess fundamentals.
Tactics are another key focus, where we explore patterns like forks, pins, and skewers. By working through tactical exercises and puzzles, students enhance their ability to spot opportunities and threats on the board. This practical approach reinforces their problem-solving skills and sharpens their in-game thinking.
Finally, we cover openings to help students start their games with confidence. We discuss popular opening moves and their purposes, allowing students to build a solid foundation for the middle game. Through personalized feedback and practice, our goal is to prepare students effectively for competitions and improve their overall chess performance.
