About Aria

I have been teaching chess for over 9 years, and my greatest joy comes from helping learners discover the game at their own pace. Many of my students are retirees seeking mental exercise, new hobbies, and fresh challenges. I approach every lesson with patience and a calm pace, making sure each idea feels clear and manageable. Personalized attention is always at the center of my teaching. Together we explore openings, middlegame strategies, and endgame mastery, focusing on both technique and understanding. I love connecting chess to its history and culture, showing how it has shaped thinking across centuries. Classic games become teaching tools, offering valuable lessons in strategy and creativity. Students learn not only how to play but also how to analyze, reflect, and improve thoughtfully. I encourage questions, discussions, and curiosity in every session. Learning is a partnership, not a race. Step by step, my students gain confidence and find joy in every move they make. Chess becomes more than a pastime—it becomes a path to sharper thinking. With dedication and practice, progress is always possible. Lifelong learning in chess is endlessly rewarding, and I am here to guide the journey.

My teaching approach to chess is rooted in clarity, patience, and steady growth. Each lesson builds strong foundations, covering openings, middlegame strategy, and endgame mastery. I use a mix of structured drills and guided practice games to reinforce concepts. Role-play scenarios are included to simulate tournament pressure and real decision-making. Learners are encouraged to think critically, not just memorize moves. For hobbyists, lessons are enjoyable and exploratory, offering space for curiosity. For more competitive learners, the focus shifts toward precision, calculation, and advanced tactics. Classic games are introduced to highlight timeless strategies. Discussions about chess history and famous players keep learning inspiring. I teach at a calm pace so every learner feels supported. Mistakes are treated as learning tools rather than setbacks. Students develop confidence in their own style while gaining consistency. Chess becomes both a creative pursuit and a mental discipline. The journey is designed to build lasting skills and a lifelong love for the game.
