About Jillian
I am a dedicated tutor with 4 years of experience specializing in teaching Chess to students ranging from school to college level. My goal as a tutor is to make Chess both approachable and deeply rewarding, whether a learner is taking their very first steps on the board or preparing to compete at higher levels. My teaching style combines clarity, creativity, and adaptability. I focus on building strong foundations in opening principles, middlegame strategy, and endgame technique, while also encouraging students to think beyond memorized moves. To make lessons engaging, I use innovative methods such as real-game analysis, interactive puzzles, and scenario-based exercises where students solve challenges drawn from famous matches. These methods allow learners to see Chess as more than a game of pieces—it becomes a discipline of strategy, foresight, and problem-solving. I believe Chess is best learned through active exploration. That’s why I incorporate case studies of classic grandmaster games, real-life decision-making scenarios, and creative problem-solving drills. By doing so, students practice not only the technical aspects of the game but also the mental skills of patience, calculation, and adaptability. For college students aiming to sharpen their analytical abilities, or younger learners building focus and resilience, I adapt each lesson to fit their unique goals and level of experience. Every session is structured but flexible, with room for learners to test strategies, ask questions, and discover their personal style of play. I encourage creativity on the board, helping students learn how to innovate under pressure and think strategically in unpredictable situations. Over time, this approach develops not only stronger Chess players but also more confident thinkers. Whether you are a school student just beginning to explore Chess or a college student seeking advanced training, I provide personalized guidance that makes the learning journey exciting and effective. With me, every lesson is a chance to sharpen your skills, strengthen your strategy, and enjoy the art of the game.

My teaching approach to Chess is built on flexibility, creativity, and real-world problem-solving. I understand that no two learners are alike, which is why I adapt lessons to match individual styles, strengths, and goals. Some students may need structured guidance in fundamentals, while others thrive through creative play and advanced strategies. This flexibility ensures that every learner feels supported and challenged at the right pace.
I use real-life examples and case studies to bring Chess to life. Classic games from world champions and modern masters are analyzed to show how strategy, patience, and timing can change the course of a match. These examples allow learners to see beyond the board, connecting the logic of Chess to decision-making in everyday life. Case studies also highlight common mistakes and winning techniques, helping students refine their own approach through practical insights.
Creativity is central to my methodology. I encourage learners to explore unique solutions and think outside of predictable moves. Chess is not just about memorizing openings; it’s about developing the confidence to innovate when the board presents new challenges. By fostering creativity, I help students grow into adaptable and independent players.
Problem-solving ties all these elements together. Each lesson presents puzzles, scenarios, and game situations that test analytical thinking. Learners practice breaking down complex positions, anticipating opponent responses, and finding clear solutions under pressure. This not only strengthens Chess skills but also builds mental agility useful in academics and beyond.
In addition to Chess, I can also teach related areas such as logical reasoning, strategic thinking, and even elements of mathematics that connect directly to game analysis. Every lesson is designed to be engaging, clear, and purposeful, giving students the tools they need for consistent improvement. My goal is not just to teach Chess, but to help learners build confidence, sharpen their minds, and enjoy the art of strategic play.
