Hello! My name is Guannan Song (but you can call me Terry), and I am a FIDE Master with 1 International Master norm.

I also offer training games with live analysis afterward for $50 USD (65 CAD)/1 hr.

Teaching Methodology: My expertise lies in opening theory, middlegame planning, attacking play, and tactical training.
I can also analyze your games and give feedback on areas of improvement.
Integral to my individualized teaching approach is tailoring each lesson to the student's goals, needs, and interests by developing a mutually agreed-upon action plan for improvement.

Lesson Cancellations: I require a minimum of 3 days notice if a lesson needs to be cancelled. Otherwise, the full price of the scheduled lesson will be charged.

We will use chess.com or lichess and Skype to communicate.

If you are interested in lessons, please send me a message on chess.com with your name, Skype name so I can add you, an introduction, and your chess goals (and come prepared to the lesson with a few previous games, if feasible - chess.com rapid games are fine). 

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. 

I previously authored 2 chess books for Everyman Chess titled "Practical Chess Puzzles: 600 Positions to Improve Your Calculation and Judgment" and "Mastering Chess Logic."
