About me

My name is Paulo Bersamina and I'm a Filipino.

Playing experience

I learned chess when I was 4. I played in four olympiads for my country (2014, 2016, 2022, 2024). In my junior years, I won a lot of Gold Medals for my country in Age Group Tournaments. My peak FIDE Standard Rating was 2462.

Teaching experience

My first students are my younger friends, I helped them in Opening Preparation and gave them study materials. Some of them became an IM, FM, NM, and their game significantly improved. Currently, I have more than 10 students (individual + group).

Other experiences

I stream and create instructional chess videos. I also created a chess course called Tactical Repertoire for White 1.e4

Best skills

Calculation, common sense in chess, time management in chess, opening preparation.

Teaching methodology

I analyze the recent games of students and distinguish their strengths and weaknesses. I build a training program that can help them improve quickly and efficiently.
