Teaching experience

I started giving chess lessons in 2015 and have been passionate about helping students improve ever since.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing my students achieve their goals and experience success! My lessons are highly interactive, because I believe that actively participating in the learning process is one of the fastest ways to improve.

I was fortunate to have wonderful coaches who made chess both fun and instructive. I want to give my students that same experience by providing lessons that are enjoyable, practical, and tailored to their individual needs.

Best skills

My lessons cover all aspects of the game:

✅Thinking Process (This is available only to my students with long-term cooperation)

✅Strategy (Center and Centralization, Open and Semi-Open Files, Outposts...)

✅Tactics (Elements, Motifs, Combinations)

✅Endgames (Practical & Theoretical)

✅Attack (Preparation & Execution of the Attack)

✅Defense (Elimination, Counter-Attack, Positional Sacrifices...)

✅Positional Chess (Improving position of your pieces, Weakening of Opponents Position...)

✅Typical Structures (Plans and Ideas)

✅Psychology of Chess (How to approach the tournament, specific games or opponents...)

Teaching methodology

It is crucial to analyze one's own games. I can help you with that, highlighting the typical mistakes you make, why you are making them and how to avoid doing so in the future. We can also play training games and analyzing them afterwards. I am going to teach you key strategic and endgame concepts and help you understand tactics deeply. We are going to look at famous games, as well as games from my own practice.

Perhaps the most important thing in chess is pattern recognition. This can only be developed by consistent practice. Therefore I will ask you many many questions and discusses how to bets approach the given position in my opinion.

I am teaching via Skype or Zoom.
