I have very good feeling of strategic aspects of the game.
My best teaching skill would be explaining many different things in an easy way.
Experienced in teaching begginers and more advanced players.

I help my students to recognise their weaknesses and eliminate them by giving personalized exercises and homework.
One of my main goals is building strong fundamentals in opening and engame stages.
