About Conner
Chess has been my passion and profession for over 6 years, and I’m dedicated to helping others unlock its depth and beauty. I teach students how to think like strong players by focusing on decision-making rather than memorizing moves. Lessons cover all phases of the game—openings for control, middlegame for creativity, and endgames for precision. I emphasize calculation skills, tactical awareness, and positional judgment. Using famous games from masters, I show how ideas develop across moves and why certain plans succeed. Students benefit from hands-on exercises, live practice games, and thorough post-game analysis. I also prepare learners for competitive play by simulating tournament conditions. For advanced students, we explore complex strategies like prophylaxis, pawn breaks, and exploiting imbalances. Technology plays a big role in my sessions, with tools that analyze games and suggest improvements. I believe in building confidence as much as skill, so students learn to trust their choices. Each lesson is tailored to personal goals, ensuring steady, visible progress. Whether your aim is casual mastery or competitive excellence, I’m here to guide your journey.

My chess teaching approach combines patient guidance with active engagement. We begin by setting clear learning objectives based on your skill level and aspirations. Openings are taught through principles, ensuring flexibility in real games. Middlegame lessons train you to think ahead, anticipate threats, and create winning opportunities. Endgames are simplified into clear patterns and practical rules you can apply under pressure. I use tactical puzzles, scenario-based training, and interactive drills to strengthen calculation skills. Game theory and logical reasoning are woven into lessons to boost strategic depth. Recreational chess challenges keep learning fresh and exciting. I review your games with you, explaining both successes and missed chances. Competitive preparation includes time control practice and tournament mindset training. My teaching is supportive, personalized, and focused on steady improvement. Together, we’ll make your chess learning both rewarding and enjoyable.
