Teaching methodology
I work with my students on what is currently most relevant for their improvement — whether that is calculation, positional understanding, endgames, openings, practical play or tournament preparation.
Training is adapted continuously and focused on what is necessary to move you to the next level.
I only work with a limited number of students at a time in order to stay fully focused on each collaboration. I offer different training formats depending on the individual situation and level of commitment.
If you are interested, please send a short introduction about yourself (rating, goals, current problems, available time). Only serious inquiries will be considered.
