Best skills
You have to be skilled in every part of the game to be good at chess
Teaching methodology
I offer personalized chess lessons, I see the games of the student and I study his style, mistakes ,weaknesses and after that I build a program to work to solve these problems and improve his skill.
Before the lesson, I want to:
- see some of your recent games,
- get to know your goals and expectations,
- know your chess biography,
- find out how serious you are with studying chess.
During the lesson, I insist on:
- understanding, not memorizing!
- calculating, without moving pieces!
- ideas, not just moves!
- things only a coach can help with!
After the lesson, I strongly suggest to:
- check the lesson documents!
- analyse your own games!
- do the homework!
- play correspondence games against me!
1 - At first I show the student what to do
2- Then I do it with them
3- After I will watch while they do it
4- Now I allow the student to do it by themselves
