Teaching Methodology

I believe improvement comes from understanding rather than memorization. My lessons are structured, practical, and tailored to each student’s goals. I typically conduct two lessons per week, followed by personalized homework to reinforce the concepts discussed. Between lessons, I provide continuous support through game analysis, tournament preparation, and opening guidance. My aim is to help students become independent thinkers and confident competitors, not just stronger players.
