About Me
As a coach with championship-winning credentials, FIDE instructor certification, and IA accreditation, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. With a FIDE rating peaking above 2000 and over five years of coaching experience, including three years in online coaching, I’m committed to cultivating a strong understanding of the fundamentals.
My coaching approach prioritizes ensuring that the basics are thoroughly grasped, recognizing them as the cornerstone upon which future success is built. I place a significant emphasis on individualized instruction and regularly assign homework to reinforce learning. Tactical exercises are predominantly assigned as home assignments to optimize time management.
Lessons are enriched with insights from both classical and contemporary games, with a focus on leveraging resources from the World Chess Federation Trainers Commission Literature to provide comprehensive training.
