Teaching Methodology

Learn using the principles of
"Learning how to Learn"

I coach players at every stage of the journey—from their very first move up to a 2000 Chess.com rating (1700 FIDE)—specialising in a methodology focused on ‘Learning how to Learn’. I primarily help with game analysis, the technique of calculating variations, endgame technique, evaluating a chess position, making a plan to make effective decisions in positional and strategic situations on the board etc.

To accelerate your growth, I look beyond standard chess theory. I apply the science of meta-learning—specifically the DSSS framework (Deconstruct, Select, Sequence, Stakes) and the See-Do-Feedback model—to distill the game into its most high-impact components. This ensures you spend 100% of your study time on the materials that actually move the needle.

Whether you’re just starting out or targeting a major rating milestone, I am excited to help you achieve your goals and level up your game!
