Feedback from my students

The coach is very special and his lessons are different from GM, IM, WGM, FM lessons I've had before. He is not filling the lessons with only theory but makes you think very deeply and understand this game of chess. At first I thought this is a waste of time but now I can see I play alot better when I take the time. He cares alot for the student and sent useful tips after the lessons also. This takes alot of his time but he doesn't care as long as the student makes progress. I would recommend the coach and YOU should try it out and see if the coach is something for you!

I've had two teachers from Jamaica, both of whom were subpar, in my opinion. One of them just held Jeremy Silman's "How to Reassess Your Chess" up to the camera and asked me to solve problems I could do myself. I learned nothing from him. Is this one of your teaching methods? If so, I'll pass. If not, I may be interested. I considered buying ten lessons at a time and then reassessing if I wanted to continue. I'm retired so that I can devote time to my homework. I need encouragement and a training plan that you will review with me to ensure I'm digesting the material. And the more encouragement I get, the more I like the lessons. Finally, I'd like to prepare for the Denver Open next May. Thank you for considering me.

Hey David! For more info, please message me. You have seen my student's reviews and one thing I can assure you that I'll give my best to help you achieve your goals.

Looks good.

I just received this message from my student:

^ That was me!

Couldn't imagine a smoother experience for my level and my expectations were outperformed.

At first I was nervous if taking a coach was a reasonable investment (I studied everything myself before).

But taking lessons gave me an immediate boost in performance. Having someone who can give some good advice surely makes charms.

Dino is a patient and encouraging teacher. I highly recommend him. One-hour lessons feel like only 5 minutes. The time flies by. He corrects the flaws in my thinking and encourages me to find better alternative moves. Memorizing his algorithms has helped a great deal. I no longer freeze when I face a good move by my opponent. I'm blundering less and improving with practice. Thank you, Dino!

is this an ad to promote oneself ?????? is the point to get paying students ? to sign up and pay really ? guess it's ok ? seems to be a good teacher from the recommendations but then again is that what this forum is for??? maybe so -- everyone here seems to be selling something -- so i guess all the power to you if you can monetize a hobby or passion- as long as you are honest good luck to you

Good

Hi

I have taken few classes with Dino. The thing I like about his coaching is that he first teaches the technique. He is patient and aligns his style to match the student's level. I am a 45 year old man. I have been playing for few years now but haven't made much progress. I also had few other coaches but I guess Dino is one of the best Having him as a coach is like someone holding your hand and guiding you through the labyrinth of chess studies. I will highly recommend Dino for your chess studies. 
I will dock 1 point because sometimes he forgets the scheduled session.

why dont you have a gm title beside you???????

Yah

Students are prone to making mistakes in online classes because of the lack of discipline and organization. Although flexibility in online learning is attractive, most students fail because they do not have information on how to use "take my online class" services offered by online class takers. Without guidance, they will likely be bad time managers, miss deadlines, or not interact with learning materials. By creating a dedicated study space, establishing a routine, and being actively involved in the learning process, students can reduce errors and enhance their online learning experience.

Yes, good advice. I would also add, from Latvian chess experience, "does opponent have friends waiting outside with pitchfork, to impale me if I win?" Very important. Also, before each move Boris pass loud blood sausage gas explosion. It disorient opponent.
