About Elliot
With 9 years of experience as a chess tutor, I have dedicated myself to helping students master the game through personalized instruction tailored to their individual needs. My approach focuses on building a strong foundation in key areas such as strategy, tactics, and openings. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, I aim to inspire a love for chess and a commitment to continuous improvement. My lessons are designed to be both challenging and enjoyable, encouraging students to think critically and creatively as they develop their skills.
Outside of chess, I have a diverse range of interests that enrich my teaching and personal life. I am an avid reader, always eager to delve into books on various subjects, from history and science to literature and philosophy. This broad intellectual curiosity allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to my tutoring, helping students make connections between chess and other areas of knowledge. Additionally, I enjoy exploring new cuisines and cooking, finding joy in the creativity and precision that both chess and culinary arts demand.
Another passion of mine is photography, particularly capturing landscapes and candid moments. Photography teaches me patience and attention to detail, qualities that are essential in both chess and life. Whether I am hiking through nature to find the perfect shot or analyzing a complex chess position, I strive to approach each task with mindfulness and dedication. These hobbies not only provide me with a balanced lifestyle but also enhance my ability to connect with students on multiple levels, fostering a more engaging and holistic learning experience.

As a chess tutor with 9 years of experience, my lessons are crafted to meet the unique needs of each student. I believe that a personalized approach is key to effective learning, so I take the time to understand each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals. My sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, encouraging students to actively participate and think critically about their moves. By focusing on foundational skills and gradually introducing more complex concepts, I ensure that students build a solid understanding of chess fundamentals while progressing at their own pace.
A significant part of my teaching focuses on the core elements of chess: strategy, tactics, and openings. I guide students through the intricacies of various opening theories, helping them develop a repertoire that suits their style of play. Through detailed analysis and practice, I teach them to recognize and execute effective tactical maneuvers, improving their ability to capitalize on opportunities during a game. Strategic planning is emphasized to help students understand the long-term implications of their moves and develop plans that can lead them to victory.
In addition to these core elements, I provide specialized support for students preparing for chess competitions. Competitive chess requires not only skill but also mental resilience and strategic thinking under pressure. My lessons include practical exercises and simulated game scenarios to help students experience and prepare for the challenges of tournament play. I offer guidance on time management, psychological preparedness, and post-game analysis, ensuring that my students are well-equipped to perform their best in competitive settings. My goal is to help each student unlock their full potential, both as a chess player and as a critical thinker.
