About Elise
I am a dedicated Chess tutor with 10 years of teaching experience, guiding students from beginners to advanced levels. Over the years, I have successfully taught around 150 students, helping them build both skill and confidence in the game. My approach focuses on understanding the principles of Chess, including openings, tactics, strategy, and endgames, while also encouraging creative thinking and problem-solving.
I believe that Chess is more than just a game—it is a tool to develop patience, focus, and critical thinking. My teaching philosophy is rooted in compassion, integrity, and adaptability. I create a supportive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. Every lesson is tailored to the student’s level, pace, and goals to ensure steady progress and enjoyment.
I incorporate interactive exercises, puzzles, and real-game analysis to make learning engaging and practical. I also guide students preparing for tournaments, helping them perform confidently under pressure. Beyond technical skills, I help students develop strategic thinking, decision-making, and resilience that benefit them both in Chess and in life.
My goal is to make Chess exciting and accessible for all learners while fostering a love for the game. Watching students grow in skill and confidence is the most rewarding part of my work. I am committed to supporting each student on their Chess journey and helping them reach their full potential.

My teaching approach in Chess is designed to help students of all levels develop both skill and strategic thinking while enjoying the game. I focus on building a strong foundation in the fundamentals, including opening principles, tactics, endgames, and positional understanding. I also cover related strategic games such as Backgammon, Risk, Checkers, and Settlers of Catan to enhance analytical thinking and decision-making skills.
I believe that learning Chess goes beyond memorizing moves; it is about understanding patterns, planning ahead, and developing problem-solving abilities. My tutoring style is guided by compassion, integrity, and adaptability. I adjust lessons to suit each student’s pace, strengths, and goals, creating a supportive environment where mistakes are opportunities to learn.
I incorporate interactive exercises, puzzles, and real-game analysis to make lessons engaging and practical. Students are encouraged to think creatively, evaluate risks, and develop strategies that reflect their personal style. I also focus on tournament preparation, helping learners gain confidence and perform under pressure.
Progress tracking is an essential part of my methodology. I provide regular feedback, identify areas of improvement, and celebrate milestones to motivate students and boost confidence. I aim to develop not just Chess skills, but also critical thinking, patience, and resilience that extend beyond the board.
Whether a beginner or an advanced player, my approach nurtures both the mind and the passion for Chess. Students learn to play strategically, think independently, and enjoy every aspect of the game. My ultimate goal is to help learners excel in Chess while cultivating lifelong skills in logic, focus, and decision-making.
