About Rhys
With two years of experience teaching Chess to high school and college students, I am dedicated to providing personalised learning experiences tailored to each student’s strengths and goals. I believe that understanding individual learning styles is key to helping students improve their strategic thinking and game skills effectively. My approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, making Chess accessible and enjoyable for learners at all levels. I bring unique skills to my teaching, including the ability to analyse games deeply and communicate strategies clearly. This helps students not only learn openings, tactics, and endgame techniques but also develop critical thinking and decision-making skills that apply beyond the chessboard. I encourage creativity and strategic experimentation, allowing students to find their own playing style while strengthening their fundamentals. Committed to fostering a supportive environment, I motivate students to stay engaged and confident through constructive feedback and goal-setting. My aim is to help each learner progress steadily while building a genuine love for the game. Whether preparing for competitions or simply improving, I work closely with students to unlock their full potential and enjoy the rewarding challenge that Chess offers.

My teaching style centres on making Chess relatable and practical by using real-life examples and case studies. This approach helps students see how strategies and tactics apply beyond the board, making lessons more engaging and meaningful. By breaking down complex positions into understandable scenarios, I encourage students to think critically and develop strong problem-solving skills. This not only improves their Chess gameplay but also enhances their overall analytical thinking, which can be applied to other subjects as well. Creativity plays a big role in my methodology. I inspire students to explore different strategies and experiment with unconventional moves while understanding the consequences of their decisions. This freedom nurtures innovative thinking and helps students develop their own style. Alongside creativity, accountability is essential in my teaching. I encourage students to reflect on their games, learn from mistakes, and take responsibility for their progress, fostering a growth mindset that supports continuous improvement. Motivation is at the heart of every lesson. I create a supportive and positive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and challenge themselves. By setting clear goals and celebrating small victories, I keep learners engaged and confident. While Chess is my main focus, my problem-solving and critical thinking strategies can benefit students in related areas like maths, logic, and strategy games. My goal is to equip students with skills that extend beyond Chess, helping them succeed both academically and personally.
