I have experience working with individuals of all ages, both in private and group lessons.
My students have ranged from beginners to intermediate players, starting from 1200 to 2000 ELO.

As an active tournament player, I have a vast knowledge of opening theory, and I can offer you several tools to work on your own opening repertoire and to improve in practical and tournament play.

The classes are personalized according to the student's needs. First, the student's objectives will be determined, and after carefully reviewing and analyzing their games, we will work on their weakest points, which in my experience, is the fastest way to achieve results.
Also, we will work on build an opening repertoire that suits the player's characteristics, and go in-depth on the typical pawn structures that usually arise from those openings.
Furthermore, as an active competitor, I can also provide valuable support with tournament preparation, particularly in the opening phase.
