Helping Frustrated Student!

Hello I have a student that I teach, who is becoming visible frustrated that he can never win against me!

I don't just won't to let him and give him a false hope, I was think of give odds until can start winning sometimes and slowly decreasing the odds as he becomes better. I also let him know if he has made a bad move a let him try and figure out what I could play, and what he could have done to prevent it!

Just wondering what others have tried 

Thanks 

I usually don't play my students, if I do it's a one time thing. Tell your student his goal isn't to beat you and try working on tactics, openings, or something else while you have a lesson with him. For example my coach is a strong IM, I'd rather him teach me what he thinks I need to know rather than play him in games. I don't know the situation but if he beats himself over losing make sure he understands a loss is the greatest thing a learning chess player can face. 

Play time odds games. 

I have had students that like to play faster games, so i will give them 5 minutes to 4...3...2...1 for myself. 

When it comes to actual learning, and learning to accept losing?  Learning to lose gracefully is just as important.

Interesting. I thought people only took chess lessons from big GMs or known players, not small fry like us.

So you're teaching as you are learning yourself?

Let him keep trying. My very first coach was an FM, and now I can beat him 2/5 times (he beats me the other 3/5) -- in blitz. 

Honestly, after a few attempts trying to beat him, (and failing miserably), I was pretty frustrated, but I really really wanted to win. That motivated me to study even harder and win  I recently beat him in a 15+05 game

What's that FM's rating?

otb? 2320+ FIDE

These are highschool students with players ranging from 600 - 1000 in the city, I normally have them play each and try point things out afterwards, and setup 3 boards with basic puzzles, unfortunately some times that student has no one else and ask to play me. that's why I like odds piece and time good ideas, this he can see progress by reducing odds but he has to earn it😀👍

a3 which Canadian FM I live Canada but was born in England

En Passant

sry, idk if he wants me to say or not....so I can't for the time being :/

No prob a3  Thanks for everyone suggestions should help!

You are regularly beating a Federal Master OTB rated 2300+?

Respect.

Do you play OTB yourself?

It's interesting how some people's game drops either OTB or online.

I kinda suck online and miss a lot of stuff because I'm still more comfortable playing on a board.

let him join real tournament. he'll know why he is still at that level

FIDE Master. And not regularly. I win around 2/5, and he wins 3/5. Honestly, I think its just that I've gotten used to his style and how to beat him.....not so much that I am actually a good chess player. 

I do play otb. I played for Canada at the world youth.......and miserably failed (but we don't talk about that last part )
