Teaching experience

In the previous 7 years I devoted myself to chess coaching and I am delighted with the amazing results of my students in World cup, Women's World cup, Tata Steel etc. I've always tried to expand my student base for those who are looking to improve their opening game.😊

Best skills

My knowledge is my strength in every part of the game specially in opening preparation.

Teaching methodology

I take into consideration what is necessary for my students. Making repertoires and analyzing their games. I make short-time, and long-time schedule which put them on the right direction. I also put some useful files at their disposal.
In fact, I teach them what they need, not always what they want.
I give thought to the study of current top-level games (calculation, openings)
