➡️ What Additional Benefits do my Students get?

My Students can:

1 - Ask me questions during the week, also including Diagrams, Puzzles, or Games in the questions. I will respond as soon as possible (usually in less than one hour).

2 - Play against me a Daily Game at a time (after that Game finishes we can create more Daily Games).

➡️ How long does it take for a student to get 100 points?

I have seen some of my students improve 100 points on their peak rating after 5 hours of Private Lessons. This is very variable, it depends on so many things, but some of them have got that. This means that by working one hour per week, you could get 100 points in 5 weeks (or faster, or slower 😉).

- 3 hours working, @jmorgan485 skyrockets his Blitz Rating (it doesn't necessarily mean he is stable at this new level, we just fixed a few things he was doing wrong and suddenly his rating went up)

LONG TERM EXAMPLES

These are the Rapid Rating Charts of 4 Amazing Students who started taking Chess Lessons with me when they were beginners in most cases.

They have improved 800 rating points or more in 3 to 4 years.
I'm sure I helped a lot, but also we should say they are extremely talented students!
