Other experiences
I was a translator at the Women's World Championship match between Hou Yifan and Mariya Muzychuk
Best skills
I try to teach my students to play modern chess based on good calculation of variations, an aggressive opening repertoire.
Teaching methodology
I provide homework after each lesson.
My lessons are fully interactive, which means I ask a lot of questions, suggest that a student think of his/her own idea, then I explain it shortly after.
