About me
I am an international master, FIDE rating of 2405 (highest 2430) from Serbia. I have been a chess coach since 1982. My real profession is teacher of Philosophy and Logic and I am educated in pedagogy which helps me to understand my students better.
Playing experience
More than 40 years.
Teaching experience
I have a lot of students around the World, from GM to beginners. As a coach, I have worked since 2003.
Other experiences
Besides teaching chess I also write CDs and articles for chess magazines (CD Caro-Kann B13-B14 published by Chessbase; Encyclopedia of Pawn Endings and Encyclopedia of Rook Endings, both published by Chess Informant). From time to time I write articles on the Chessbase site.
Best skills
My main goal is to teach students how to think independently, creatively, and properly. I can help with Chess psychology and preparation for tournaments. My method is to teach students Middlegame and endgames. Of course, i can help in creating an opening repertoire, and help in some openings (The Rui Lopez, The Sicilian, the Queen gambit, The Slav, King Indian Defense, and Grunfeld Indian defense.
Teaching methodology
In lessons, I place the main stress on student's INDEPENDENT work. This is because one can improve in chess only by permanent independent thinking.
The main goal that I set in training is that my student work on chess for their PLEASURE. This is the best way of improving and it gives the best practical results.
The main method of training is an INDIVIDUAL approach to each student. The second principle is ACCEPTING STUDENTS' SUGGESTIONS and directing the training in the direction that my student wishes.
One lesson = 25 euros. For more lessons paid in advance, a discount is possible.
This includes:
one-hour training online,
lesson sent by email (positions and full explanations: principles, rules, maneuvers...way of playing step by step),
homework sent by email (a lot of material of lesson's topic for your independent work),
answering all your questions sent by email,
tests, training games, and psychological preparation for tournaments.
For regular students a discount is possible.
After our training, you will have no holes in your chess knowledge. You will get familiar with all chess things in a very systematic and easy (and fun!) way to understand and remember and also get prepared for your independent work on chess.
