I am 30 years old, former Quebec junior champion. I have been playing chess for about 23 years, and for last ten years I have been privately coaching students.

I live in Montreal, QC, Canada.

Playing experience

I love chess and have been playing it for the last 23 years, progressing through the ranks with a self-taught system focusing on tactical evaluation.

2013 Quebec Junior Championship - 1st
2012 McGill Open Championship - 1st
2011 Montreal Open Championship - 2nd
2009 Canadian Zonal Championship - 3rd (FM title)

Teaching experience

I created my own curriculum and learned very carefully at every step and have been teaching for 10 years now.

Other experiences

I have also served as an annotator for my university's chess magazine.

Best skills

I can provide my students with insight and advice at all levels of play and a systematic long term approach to chess.

Teaching methodology

I start by analyzing the past games of my students to identify their immediate weaknesses. Then I help them understand the core principles governing the game starting from the opening all the way to the endgame. Once they have grasped the essentials, we move on to the methodology and psychology of calculation.
