About Cyrus

With over 10 years of experience in coaching chess and various strategy games, I have developed a deep passion for teaching and helping others master these intellectually stimulating pursuits. My journey began as a young enthusiast, captivated by the intricacies and challenges of games like chess, backgammon, Risk, checkers, and Catan. Over the years, I have honed my skills through competitive play, extensive study, and dedicated practice, all of which have significantly shaped my teaching approach.

My teaching philosophy revolves around personalized instruction and strategic development. I believe that every student has unique strengths and areas for improvement, and I tailor my lessons to address these individual needs. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced player refining your strategies, my goal is to provide clear, practical guidance that helps you understand the core principles of each game. By breaking down complex concepts into manageable lessons, I aim to make learning both accessible and enjoyable.

Beyond technical proficiency, I emphasize the importance of critical thinking and strategic planning in my lessons. Games like chess and Catan are not just about the moves you make, but also about anticipating your opponent’s actions and adapting your strategy accordingly. I incorporate real-world scenarios and practice sessions to develop your ability to think ahead and make informed decisions under pressure. This approach not only enhances your gameplay but also fosters valuable life skills such as patience, resilience, and analytical thinking.

Outside of coaching, I remain actively involved in the gaming community through tournaments, workshops, and ongoing study. This engagement keeps me updated with the latest strategies and trends, which I integrate into my teaching to offer fresh, relevant insights. My mission is to inspire a lifelong love for strategy games in my students and to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to excel. Whether you’re aiming for competitive success or simply seeking to enjoy the intellectual challenge of these games, I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey.
