my main aim as a teacher is to find the right balance between making the lesson fun and educational. i am very open minded in finding the right method and the right resources for each student specifically.

my main skills in teaching:
1. building a solid and clear opening repertoire
2. tactical vision: how to spot tactical opportunities?
3. all aspects of strategic chess.
4. giving the students the right principles and general guidelines of chess.

my main aim as a teacher is to find the right balance between making the lesson educational and informative and making it fun and in good spirits.
i use Skype, zoom, or discord for communication, and typically using the study boards on lichess for the actual teaching and analyzing.
