About Miles

With over three years of dedicated mentorship and coaching, I bring a wealth of experience as a seasoned Chess Grandmaster to my students. My journey in chess began at a young age, fueled by a passion for the game’s intricate strategies and intellectual challenges. Over the years, I have honed my skills through rigorous practice and competition, achieving the prestigious title of Grandmaster. This deep, hands-on experience allows me to impart not just theoretical knowledge, but also practical insights and strategies that can only be gained through years of dedicated play.

In my role as a mentor, I am committed to fostering a love for chess in students of all ages and skill levels. My teaching philosophy centers around patience, encouragement, and personalized guidance. I believe that every student has unique strengths and learning styles, and I tailor my lessons to meet these individual needs. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, I aim to build my students' confidence and help them achieve their personal best, both in chess and in life.

Beyond the chessboard, I am a firm advocate for the broader cognitive and life skills that chess can develop. Lateral thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving are just a few of the skills that my students gain through our lessons. I take pride in seeing how these skills translate into improved academic performance, better decision-making, and enhanced creativity in my students’ everyday lives. My goal is to show how the discipline and focus required in chess can be applied to any challenge, fostering well-rounded individuals prepared for various aspects of life.

My commitment to continuous learning and improvement ensures that I stay at the forefront of chess education. I regularly participate in professional development, attend workshops, and stay updated with the latest strategies and trends in the chess world. This dedication to my own growth enables me to provide the highest quality of instruction and mentorship to my students. Whether working with a beginner taking their first steps in chess or an advanced player seeking to refine their strategies, I am passionate about guiding my students on their journey to mastering this timeless game.

In a typical chess lesson, we begin with a thorough review of fundamental concepts to ensure a solid foundation. Understanding the importance of piece development, control of the center, and basic opening principles is crucial. This initial phase helps students, whether beginners or more advanced players, to grasp the essential strategies that underpin successful play. By revisiting these core ideas regularly, students build a strong base that supports more complex tactical and strategic thinking.

Once the basics are well understood, we move on to more advanced topics such as mid-game tactics and endgame strategies. Through practical exercises, students learn to recognize common patterns and solve tactical puzzles, which sharpens their problem-solving skills. In addition, we analyze famous games, extracting valuable lessons from the strategies and mistakes of grandmasters. This analysis not only broadens students' understanding but also inspires them by showcasing the depth and beauty of chess.

A significant portion of the lesson is dedicated to personalized feedback and game analysis. Students present games they have played, and together we dissect each move to identify strengths and areas for improvement. This hands-on approach allows for targeted learning, as students see firsthand how theoretical knowledge applies in real-game scenarios. Emphasis is placed on understanding the decision-making process, encouraging students to think critically and anticipate their opponent's moves.

Finally, we incorporate exercises designed to foster lateral thinking and creativity. Chess is not just about logical calculation; it also involves imaginative problem-solving and strategic foresight. By engaging in puzzles and unconventional scenarios, students learn to approach challenges from different angles, enhancing their overall cognitive flexibility. This holistic approach to chess education aims to develop well-rounded players who can apply their skills both on and off the board.
