How can you improve your tactical skills in chess?

Best way I can think of is to analyse your losses against more experienced players. Recreate the situations where you lost material/got checkmated, and try to figure out how your opponent visualized the combination that led to you losing.

For beginners, in every situation look for the intention your opponent had while moving his piece and then think about creating a mating net or a threat,pin, eventual fork in minimal move possible without any risk
