About Lourdes
Hi! I'm Lourdes Vásquez, a passionate and experienced chess coach from Panama. I’ve been playing chess for over 9 years and have proudly represented my country in multiple international competitions (including two Chess Olympiads). I’m a National Chess Champion, a Pan-American Amateur Champion, and a multiple-time medalist at regional tournaments. As a psychology student, I bring valuable insight into how people learn, stay motivated, and manage emotions under pressure. This allows me to adapt my teaching style to each student’s personality and needs (building not only strong chess skills but also confidence, focus, and resilience). I offer well-structured, personalized lessons that are both effective and fun. Whether you're a beginner learning the basics or an advanced player aiming to compete, I’ll guide you step by step with patience, clarity, and enthusiasm. Students appreciate my calm, supportive approach and my ability to explain complex ideas in simple, practical ways. I take pride in creating a positive learning environment where every student feels confident, motivated, and respected. Let’s take your game to the next level together!

As a chess tutor, I focus on making every lesson engaging, personalized, and growth-oriented. I adapt my methods to each student’s level, age, and goals—whether you're just learning how the pieces move or preparing for tournaments. Teaching method and techniques: I combine clear explanations with interactive practice. I use real games (including your own) to teach strategies, tactics, and decision-making. I focus on developing thinking patterns, time management, and confidence over the board. Lessons often include puzzles, annotated game reviews, and targeted exercises to improve your weaknesses. A typical lesson plan: Each class usually starts with a warm-up (tactical puzzle or quick review), followed by the main topic (opening, middle game, endgame, or a specific skill), and ends with guided play or homework suggestions. All sessions are adapted to your pace and preferences. What sets me apart: I’m a two-time Olympiad team member for Panama, a National Chess Champion, and a medalist in international events. Also, I am a psychology student so I understand both the technical and psychological sides of chess, and I love helping others build their confidence for the game and their lives. My energy, patience, and strategic mindset make each lesson both fun and effective. Who are my lessons for? I work with children, teenagers, and adults of all levels—from curious beginners to competitive players. Whether you're playing for fun, improving your school performance, or aiming to win tournaments, I will help you grow in a positive and motivating environment.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Lourdes.
Perfect! She is a very polite and incredibly patient teacher. One thing I really appreciate is that even when I take a long time to think through a tactic or can’t find the right move, she doesn’t just give me the answer. Instead, she gives small hints that guide me in the right direction, which helps me understand the idea much better and makes the lesson more interactive. We also don’t stop at the solution. We spend time looking at different lines and variations, which has helped me improve my calculation and overall understanding of positions. The lessons are well structured, and I especially enjoy how she uses real games to explain concepts and ideas. I’ve learned a lot from her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their chess.
- He learns quickly and easily, he is very polite, and he's not afraid to ask questions as many times as needed until the lesson is completely clear. He has a strong desire to learn and is highly enthusiastic about chess.Lourdes's response :

I really like her classes. She not only teaches me how to play chess better but also prepares me to think correctly in the game and raise my level.
Teacher Lourdes is not only a great chess instructor, but also a motivator for the students. She always reminds them that practice and effort bring rewards.
I had never trained chess before, I started to do it because I was very interested in the game and it became my favorite activity thanks to the incredible classes of teacher Lourdes. She also helped me a lot to improve my strategy and tactical level in the game.
For the first time when my kids come home from school, they are excited to do homework, but not math exactly, but chess. The coach Lourdes is interactive and dynamic, she always motivates the kids to practice and make an effort.
Lourdes is a fantastic tutor. I recommend her because she genuinely cares about her students' progress. She always makes sure students understand the material before moving on.
She is a fantastic trainer, every time she comes to our house my 7 year old doesn't want her to leave. Apart from having quality content, she knows very well how to combine learning with fun.
