Strategic Thinking: I excel in helping students think several moves ahead, mastering not only tactics but also long-term planning and strategy.
Positional Play: I emphasize the importance of good positioning on the board, teaching my students to make decisions based on structure and flexibility, not just immediate threats.
Tactical Awareness: From basic forks and pins to more advanced sacrifices, I help students recognize and create tactical opportunities that can win the game.

Personalized Coaching: I tailor each lesson to the student's individual needs, whether they are a beginner or advanced player, ensuring they receive the right guidance at their level.
Clear Communication: I break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations, making sure that each student grasps the lesson fully.
Adaptability: I adapt my teaching methods based on the student's progress, adjusting strategies and approaches to suit their learning style.

Depending on my students level, we can create a plan based on their needs. I actually love to ask my students what is they want to learn from me and work on it together.
I usually give students independent work to complete until our next session.
Interactive Learning: I encourage my students to actively participate, making lessons dynamic and engaging. I believe learning by doing is the best way to improve.
