About Siona
I am a chess tutor with 8 years of coaching experience, working with students aiming for tournament and academy-level play. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in Piano Performance, and that deep training shaped my analytical thinking and disciplined approach to teaching strategy. Chess, like music, demands structure and imagination. I enjoy guiding players to see both.
I help students prepare for scholastic competitions, rating improvement, and serious club play. We study openings carefully, but we also focus on planning in the middlegame. I teach calculation methods, positional understanding, and time management. Short exercises strengthen pattern recognition. Every lesson includes practical games and review.
My goal is to unlock each student’s creative and technical potential at the board. I encourage clear thinking, patience, and confidence under pressure. We analyze mistakes calmly and turn them into lessons. Students begin to anticipate ideas instead of reacting to them. Over time they develop a personal style. I want every player to feel capable, focused, and ready for challenging competition.

My chess teaching profile focuses on clear, interactive, and goal-oriented learning. I create lessons where students actively think instead of only watching. We learn by doing. Every move has a purpose.
I teach opening understanding, planning in the middlegame, and practical endgame skills. Students practice calculation, pattern recognition, and time management. I include guided exercises and shared board analysis. We review games together step by step. Visual examples make ideas easier to grasp.
I support players preparing for tournaments and those improving analytical thinking for personal growth. I give detailed feedback after every game. We build consistency and confidence gradually. My lessons cultivate strong decision-making at the board.
