About Tea

Certified national and international chess trainer for 20 years. International Master (IM) and women grandmaster (WGM) with extensive experience working with adult club players and young chess players of different ages and levels. 2 times world youth chess champion, vice champion of Europe, Dutch champion ladies, Participated in 10 Olympiad and 10 European team chess champions for Dutch national ladies’ team.

About the lesson

My teaching method consists of a combination of the worldwide translated and famous Dutch stepsmethod, and the methods developed and used by masters from strong Soviet chess schools. My approach for every student is individual. In the first sessions, I like to gauge exactly what my student's ambitions are. What is YOU would like to achieve in chess. From there, we will devise a plan together to see exactly how you can achieve your goals. I mainly concentrate on finding the strengths and weaknesses of my students and improving them. My teaching methodology covers every aspect of chess, I'll provide my students with basic skills of chess like: calculation techniques, middlegame strategy, and theoretical endgames, as well as opening preparation. My goal is to enrich my student's understanding of chess and their thinking process. I like to focus on aspects of the game which are harder for you to study by yourself and will be striving to help you learn how to work on chess by yourself.

Perfect! Tea is patent, instructive and well prepared. Before our lesson together, Tea reviewed my online chess games, and compiled a list of things that can help me instantly improve.

Meanwhile, Tea's teaching style is rather systematic, which is a style that I prefer. Definitely recommend her to whoever seems to improve upon chess.

Perfect! Tea is a great teacher, who’s always patient and kind, and I’m a big fan of her teaching method. She starts out by analyzing games you’ve played, looking over good and bad moves. For bad moves, she points out if there’s a blunder or a free piece that you may have missed, but instead of just telling you what to do, she lets you think it out. After she looks over a game, she usually puts on puzzles for you to do that relate to mistakes you may have made while in a game, and that use a similar core concept such as pins or forks to make them feel more natural. She also introduces and shows puzzles on new concepts, or refreshes old ones. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to improve at chess!

Perfect! Tea's a wonderful instructor. Provides valuable analyses of my games, gives me challenging exercise, and her all-around good nature makes the lessons fun.

Tea combines her her experience as player and trainer in The Netherlands with her own education in the famous Sovjet chess school. Students can expect the best of both worlds. She adjusts her lessons to the needs of each individual student, carefully studying the students games.

Tea is accurately described as a 'magician' at the board. Like no other trainer she makes me understand the logic of potential moves. Looking at a position through her eyes will teach you how to create winning opportunities as well. And being the true champion she is, she also understands how to deal with tournament pressure - seeing that we are not machines when playing live games.

I worked with Tea for two years to deliver chess lessons to primary age children in an international school setting. I consider Tea to be something beyond a mere Grand Master and champion. She is possessing of a spirit and humanity that cannot be bought or paid for. She is my friend certainly, and I am privileged to be able to say so.
