About me
My name is Paulo Bersamina and I'm a Filipino. I currently passed the examination to become an official FIDE Trainer, though the official title will come out in December or January.
Playing experience
I learned chess when I was 4. I played in two olympiads. In my junior years, I won a lot of Gold Medals for my country in ASEAN Age Group Tournaments. I am currently rank # 5 in my country with a FIDE Rating of 2462.
Teaching experience
Most of my students are my younger friends, I am helping them in Opening Preparation and giving them study materials. Some of them became an IM, FM, NM, and their game significantly improved. Best students: NM Docena (23 years old) 2405 FIDE Standard Rating, IM Quizon (16 years old) 2319 FIDE Rating
Other experiences
I think I have a good system of teaching students because I am taking a teaching profession at university.
Best skills
Calculation, common sense in chess, time management in chess, opening preparation.
Teaching methodology
I analyze the recent games of students and distinguish their strengths and weaknesses. I build a training program that can help them improve quickly and efficiently.
