About Saiya
I have been playing competitive chess my whole life! As a child, I played and worked at chess for many years before finally having a breakthrough as a teenager, and I have continued to improve, even into my thirties as a PhD student with little spare time. As an adult, I have built community in chess and organically started giving lessons to people I met. I have encountered many different teaching techniques over the years, and have had the opportunity to see what works and what doesn't.
All too many chess coaches rely on students to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and propose their own lesson plans. Of course, students are not always best positioned to identify their own strengths and weaknesses, and part of the function of a coach should be to assess the student and help them develop a study plan.
I have five years of experience teaching linguistics at the university level, and I am accustomed to making lesson plans and using proven pedagogical techniques. As a coach, I will identify your strengths and weaknesses based on seeing your games and hearing your thought process. I will then create study plans consisting of games, puzzles, and interesting positions specifically tailored for you.

As an adult beginner, I've taken chess lessons with 3 different chess coaches over several years. By far, Saiya has given me the most practical, well-prepared, and individualized lessons — not to mention, she's so funny and friendly and makes the material easy to understand! She gives constructive feedback on my games that has really helped me improve my thought process. I would unreservedly recommend her to anyone who wants to level up their chess.
