Best skills

I prefer Strategy and Endgames so in my teaching, I put a big emphasis on them.

Teaching methodology

I try to give everyone the necessary materials to improve on their lacking skills. Everyone should reach a standard in all different aspects of the game first then focus on their strong points to excel.
