Teaching experience

I'm active player who like sharing his experience/knowledge in chess.
I've practice of mentoring since 2013.

Best skills

You should be skilled in all parts of the game in order to be good at chess.

Teaching methodology

The first session would always be a mini-test with 10 positions.
As a result of it - I build up a "menu" with required "ingredients" that are missing in student's game :)
