In my chess journey, I have had opportunities to work with top GMs from India to level up my game strength and happy to share my learning experience with my students.
Teaching experience
I have been teaching chess to all age groups from past couple of years. Currently I’m working with students around the globe. Apart from coaching, I do engage with students for just training games and analysis of played games to identify strengths and weaknesses.
Best skills
I heavily focus on all elements of chess - openings, middlegame and endgame. Depending on the player’s playing style, happy to customize my coaching program.
Teaching methodology
Session will be conducted over skype or zoom. I tailor the coaching program as per students’ playing style and strength. Typically, solving tactics and going through some famous games played in the past will be the default items in the course when I work will my students. This has really proven to strengthen my students’ calculation speed and accuracy during their games
