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.
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
