Teaching experience

I have been teaching since 2016. Worked with more than 100 students for thousands of hours. Helped 20+ children to become international, national, and local champions. Worked with many FMs and IMs. Throughout my teaching career managed to create a consistent improvement program for almost any level. Conducted numerous chess lectures and simultaneous exhibitions at chess camps.

Other experiences

Best skills

I am able to find an individual approach to each student since everyone has his own weak and strong suits.
I will create an individual timetable to follow for my students. I am always happy to answer all the questions my students might have.

Teaching methodology

I will provide you with an opening repertoire based on your playing style; tournament-running assistance with preparation;
I will help you to improve your calculation and positional understanding skills, your knowledge of endgame theory, etc. Will provide you with all necessary PDF/PGN files included in an individual program of improvement.
I use Google Meet/Zoom/Teams and Lichess platform to conduct lessons.
It would be great if you had a possibility to send me a PGN file with your recent games so I could point out your weaknesses and strengths.
