I have over 8 years of experience as I have been teaching since 14 years old (I am 22 years old right now). I have taught dozens of individual students and have taught in group lessons.

I have material on every single aspect of the game of chess (from defense, a highly understudied topic, to something like maneuvering).

I am completing my Undergraduate Degree in Neuroscience at the University of Windsor and I am in the process of applying to medical school.

1) Pinpointing my students' weaknesses
2) Converting their weakness into a strength through strong GM game analysis. The main focus is on thinking like a stronger player in order to foster a better understanding of the game of chess
3) Game analysis

We can discuss any topic/area in chess.

My coaching method consists of figuring out my students' weaknesses and then improving them through strong grandmaster game analysis.

Also, I always aim to be adaptable to the students' needs and wants.
