My Approach to Tutoring
I keep my lessons simple, clear, and focused on helping you improve step by step. I adjust my teaching based on your level and goals so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

I teach through a mix of explanation and practice. We cover openings, middlegame ideas, endgames, and tactics. I also review your games to help you understand mistakes and improve faster.
Lesson Duration
Lessons are usually 60 minutes, but I can adjust the time if needed.
Experience
I have experience teaching chess to different levels and helping students improve their skills and confidence. From different countries like Thailand, United States, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
Who It’s For
My lessons are for beginners to intermediate players, including kids, teens, and adults. Whether you’re learning for fun or want to get better at competing, I can help.
