About Suzanna
Only person to always walk out of casinos with a money check, because that's where chess tournaments are being held! :))) Latest wins- 2023 Las Vegas National Open, Walter Brown Memorial, Las Vegas Open (1st place, 2nd place, 2nd place). Currently, I work as a chess coach with US schools. Online students come from all over the world, from Los Angeles to Oxford, Dubai to Hong Kong. I started chess at the young age of 5 and have graduated from the prestigious Chess Academy of Armenia, where I trained with Grandmasters from Armenia and abroad. My passion and dedication for the game has led me to win many national and international tournaments. At 17, I transitioned to a teaching career, receiving accreditation with my Teaching License by the Ministry of Education and the President of Chess Academy. My goal is to share my love of chess with my students, whether you're just starting or seeking to improve your skills. Join me for personalized and engaging lessons to discover the beauty and benefits of chess. Sign up today!

Join me for private online lessons held on Zoom, with the use of ChessBase and Lichess. During our sessions, we cover a range of topics, including strategic planning, tactical vision, theory of openings, and endgame techniques. But, most importantly, my goal is to help you enjoy the process of learning and the game itself.
Playing chess makes one smarter, and I'm here to make it fun!
Our classes are tailored to meet your needs and preferences. During our first session, we will evaluate your current level of chess and determine whether we will start with introductory basics, calculations, or deeper analysis. This session also gives us a chance to meet and ensure that you enjoy our lessons and the game of chess. (I'm so sure you'll love it - all of my students do!) :)
We'll finish the lesson by discussing how you can continue to improve your chess game outside of our lessons. I will provide you with resources and tips for studying and practicing on your own.
Start this journey together and make the game of chess both fun and intellectually enriching. Contact me to schedule your free consultation and take the first step towards mastering the royal game! :)
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Suzanna.
Perfect! Suzanna clearly knows how to engage young children. She takes full control of the lesson's pace, which allows me to step back and let her lead. Her lessons are highly structured—this works perfectly for my 7-year-old son, who usually struggles to stay focused.
Perfect! I’ve really enjoyed working with Suzanna so far. It’s been a long time coming for me to finally sit down and take proper chess lessons, and she’s been great about building things from the ground up without making it feel overwhelming.
We’ve spent time on the fundamentals, classic positions, and, especially, recognizing tactical patterns. One thing I really appreciate is how much she focuses on speed—training my eye to spot tactics quickly, not just eventually figure them out. That’s already starting to carry over into my games.
Her teaching style is straightforward, easy to follow, and very practical. No fluff—just clear explanations, good examples, and useful feedback. The homework and practice suggestions she gives are also spot-on, and I can tell they’re helping me make real progress.
All in all, I feel like I’m on a solid path to improving my rating, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for when I started. I’m very happy with the lessons and would definitely recommend Suzanna to anyone serious about getting better at chess.Perfect! Suzanna is a great teacher! She is very organized which is awesome for beginners. She uses puzzles and other online resources for teaching which is very hands-on and doable as well. I would recommend her!
Perfect! I had a free class with Suzanna and was impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm. I look forward to taking more classes with her.
Perfect! First lesson was free and 30 minutes to get to know eachother better and I learned a lot of history facts about chess. Also each lesson there is some sort of fun facts and games to help improve understanding of chess and keep up with modern chess. 10/10!!
