Teaching methodology

I give chess lessons via Skype (tajsonkg) or Zoom.
My teaching method is based on:
"Knowledge + Practice = Skills = Success"

1) When student inquire for me to coach him, first thing I do is analyze at least 10 of his games (You can send me 10 games which you think are illustrating your current strengths and weaknesses or I can go through your games on your profile and select the most important games).
After the analysis I point out what are your strengths which we are going to train into weapons and weaknesses which we are going to focus to eliminate.

2) Lessons & Training Program are based on your strengths & weaknesses.

3) Everything we do during the lesson, homework and additional training material will be sent to you after every lesson.

4) If you enjoy studying chess and you are serious about improvement you don't need to worry!
You will get plenty of Training Material every day and when I say plenty I really mean that (as much as you can handle!).

5) I am also available pretty much everyday any time to answer my students questions which I insist they should send to me as soon as they come up with the question (and not wait until the next lesson!) because I want to keep your training process as fluid as possible.
