I have been teaching chess for over 15 years now as main main job. I teach school children, I have at the moment over 222 students per week at different schoold in Finland, Espoo area.

Other experiences

I did my Master of arts thesis by studing chess players' thinking at 2002.

Teaching methodology

Children learn well by understanding their weaknesses and that is mostly done by analyzing their own chess games. On the other hand, all children must be considered individuals with different ways how to teach them.
