Teaching experience
I started teaching 9 years ago.
Many of my students are cadet and junior champions of their countries.
I also assist many adult players in achieving their goals.
I coach all levels, from beginners to players aiming for FM, IM, and GM titles.
Staying motivated is key, and together, we can reach any goal you set!
With all my students I have friendly communication and a good relationship.
In my 22 year chess career I have never had a chess teacher! So, I know best how hard it is to have good results on your own.

Teaching methodology
In our first lesson, I test your skills to see your current chess level. After that, we focus on the parts of your game that need the most work. I want our classes to be relaxed and fun, because that is the best way to learn!
At the end of every class, I give you homework and tips for your next steps.
What we will work on:
Openings: Creating and fixing your opening repertoire.
Middlegame: Improving your tactics and planning.
Endgames: Essential rules and principles.
Game Analysis: Looking at your games to fix mistakes.
Preparation: Targeted training for your upcoming tournaments.
Practical Advice: Tips for real tournament games.
I strongly believe in using drills for every part of the game - strategy, middlegames, tactics, openings, and endgames. I believe that solving a huge number of drills is the only way to make serious progress.
My brothers, GM Miloje Ratkovic and FM Petar Ratkovic, and I use this exact method with our students. We are achieving fantastic results in our chess academy together.
