About Monica
Eighteen years of competing in 150 rated tournaments across Australia and internationally informs my instruction as a FIDE Trainer with a BA in Education. I prioritize board vision, king safety, and positional understanding to ensure students handle complexity with precision. Developing consistent pattern recognition is essential for mid-level players looking to sharpen their middlegame planning. Watching students grasp a difficult attacking play sequence during practice matches remains the most satisfying part of this work.

Clocks tick loudly as we analyze your recent games move by move. You will record and annotate variations to build a deeper awareness of the board.
My 9 step methodology forces rigorous calculation. We drill tactical patterns until they become second nature.
I focus your study on openings and endings based on your tournament results. This methodical grind prepares you for high pressure environments. Your performance will reflect the 13 years of specialized training I provide.
