About Arlo

I’m a chess tutor with 10 years of experience and a Master of Arts in Education with a focus on strategic thinking and enrichment through games. I love working with homeschooling families to make chess a natural part of daily learning. Whether it’s integrating chess into history lessons, maths practice, or critical thinking projects, I help families discover how versatile and enriching the game can be. I design flexible, personalised curricula that fit each learner’s pace and interests. My lessons often include storytelling, puzzle challenges, and hands-on activities that keep young minds engaged. I support parents in building a chess-friendly home environment where everyone can participate and grow. From beginner basics to tournament prep, I make sure students feel confident, supported, and challenged. We focus on key skills like focus, patience, sportsmanship, and decision-making. I also guide siblings and parent-child pairs in fun mini-matches to strengthen bonds through play. Lessons are joyful, curious, and interactive. Chess becomes a shared family journey—not just a subject. Let’s turn your home into a creative and strategic space where chess is part of everyday discovery.

About the lesson

My teaching approach brings your personal thinking style into the game. I help players use chess as a way to tell their story—move by move. We work on narrating past games, reflecting on decisions, and understanding emotional responses during play. My lessons include guided game reviews, story-based strategy prompts, and expressive notation exercises. You’ll learn how to describe your thinking clearly and make each move more meaningful. Whether you're new to chess or returning after time away, I create a safe space to explore, reflect, and grow. We focus on developing a strong foundation in tactics and positional play while also connecting your personal experiences to the board. I encourage players to describe how they felt during key moments and what ideas inspired each move. This builds both strategic awareness and self-expression. I’m especially good at supporting players who are exploring chess in a new cultural or personal context. I offer consistent, gentle feedback to help you articulate your chess ideas with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll make your games compelling and thoughtful. Chess becomes not just a game—but your own unfolding story.
