Ascension Chess Academy

Our Teaching Method

We combine structured coaching with independent learning so you can improve faster—without feeling lost between lessons.

Start With a Personalized Assessment

Your journey begins with a one-on-one Introductory Assessment to identify your level, strengths, and areas for improvement. You’ll leave with a clear improvement plan, including what to focus on next and how to continue improving—whether with or without a coach.

Learn Smarter, Not Just Harder

Our lessons go beyond explaining concepts. We help you develop real skills through active learning, including:

  • Targeted Topic Exploration
    Your coach focuses on areas that matter most to your growth—whether it’s tactics, strategy, openings, or endgames.

  • Game Reviews & Decision Analysis
    We go through your recent games to understand how you think, what you missed, and how to make better decisions in real games.

  • Problem-Solving and Exercises
    You’ll work on puzzles and practical exercises to strengthen specific skills—right during the lesson.

  • Concept Reinforcement
    Lessons don’t end with theory. You’ll be guided through practical applications so you know how to actually use what you’ve learned in your own games.

Stay on Track Between Lessons

All your progress, homework, and study materials are organized in a shared online document that you and your coach keep updated. This includes:

  • A clear outline of what you’re working on

  • Personalized puzzles, videos, and study resources

  • Notes and insights from your lessons

  • Homework to apply what you’ve learned before your next session
