About Vanessa
With 7 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in teaching Chess to school and college students, guiding them from the basics to advanced strategies. My teaching style is patient and interactive, focusing on developing critical thinking, foresight, and problem-solving through real game practice and analysis. I use innovative methods such as scenario-based exercises, puzzles, and simulated tournaments to make learning engaging and practical. Students not only master opening principles, middlegame tactics, and endgame techniques, but also learn discipline, patience, and decision-making skills that extend beyond the chessboard. I also integrate strategy lessons from other games like Backgammon, Risk, and Checkers to broaden strategic thinking and adaptability. My goal is to make students confident, competitive, and passionate about Chess while helping them unlock their full potential.

My teaching approach in Chess is built on patience, problem-solving, and diplomacy. I guide students step by step, ensuring they not only understand strategies but also learn how to think ahead, stay calm under pressure, and make balanced decisions. Each session is interactive, focusing on opening principles, middlegame tactics, and endgame mastery. I also emphasize game analysis to improve decision-making. Beyond Chess, I can teach related strategy games like Backgammon, Risk, Checkers, and Settlers of Catan, helping learners build critical thinking and strategic planning skills useful both on and off the board.
