Teaching experience
FIDE Instructor since 2020. I coach players rated 1000 - 2000, mostly long-term students. One recent student went from 1497 to 1688 FIDE in four months.
Best skills
Building real understanding of how chess actually works. My focus is middlegame and endgame understanding, positional play, and calculation. These are the patterns strong players use without thinking, and they are what carry a 1000 - 2000 rated player to the next level.
I also build repertoires around the specific student, their style, their level, and what they actually want to play.

Teaching methodology
90 minutes on Google Meet. Before the first session I review your recent games and build the lesson around what is holding you back.
After every session you get a written recap with the key ideas and your homework, so you can come back to it any time. I keep an organized record of every session, the topics covered, games reviewed, and weaknesses worked on, so you see your progress over months.
If you have any questions in-between sessions, I'll be available on WhatsApp. Additionally, every few months I bring in a Grandmaster for a guest lecture, included at no extra cost for active students.
If you want to work together, DM or email me at gerganapeychevaofficial@gmail.com with your current rating, your goal, and what you feel is holding you back. I reply within a day.
