Teaching experience

I have more then 3 years of experience of teaching chess. My students by a year plusing in their power for 200+ rating points minimum with individual lessons. One of my students hit 2000 fide and 2150 canadian national rating.

Other experiences

Ones in a while I'm streaming title tuesdays, and commentating matches of GMs-IMs for big online tournaments.

Best skills

My best skill in chess is understanding every aspect of a chess game with simple words. That's why I can easily share my knowledge of chess with students in a simple way.

Teaching methodology

For time management, I usually use 1 hour per lesson, during which we warm up with chess puzzles for 7-10 minutes. Then, for 20-30 minutes, we do the main training, learning calculation techniques, understanding dynamic/simple positions/closed positions, learning new openings that best fit my student's style or learning endgames. For the rest of the time usually 15-30 minutes, we analyze games/practice.
