Other than chess I have helped various chess academies and chess coaches to grow their online presence through organic marketing. I have written 100s of chess blogs as a freelancer.

I focus on student's strengths and weaknesses. After each class, you will give a chess improvement plan until the next class.

As a coach, I understand the importance of tailoring my approach to the unique needs and challenges of each student. Whether it's honing strengths or addressing weaknesses, I believe in a personalized coaching program that is designed for optimal growth and progress.
