FAQ:

What level of players do you coach?
I coach players of all levels, from beginners just learning the rules to advanced players looking to sharpen their skills or prepare for tournaments.

What is your teaching style?
I believe the most effective way to improve is by identifying mistakes in your own games and learning from them. My priority is always to analyze my students' games first, and from there, I determine which material best addresses their weaknesses. While I create personalized plans for my students, I’m always open to their input and can adapt based on what they wish to learn.

How long and how often are lessons?
Each lesson typically lasts one hour, though I can adjust the time based on your needs and what we’re covering. The frequency of lessons depends on your goals—many students prefer weekly sessions for consistent progress, while others choose biweekly lessons or schedule as needed. I’m flexible and can adapt to what works best for you.

About Me:

A little bit about my chess journey so far: I first learned the rules of chess when I was 7 years old from my father, but I wasn’t really interested at the time. I preferred playing sports, and that’s what I focused on. It wasn’t until 2020, when the world went into lockdown, that I started playing chess again with the basic knowledge I had. Starting with a rating of 900, I got hooked on blitz and spent hours watching chess streamers on Twitch. After tens of thousands of games, I managed to reach a rating of 2500 blitz and 2800 bullet online in just two years.

In 2022, I began my over-the-board (OTB) journey and quickly climbed the ranks both online and in OTB play. Finally, on March 31st of this year, I achieved National Master status, with peak ratings of 2662 in Blitz and 2993 in Bullet on Chess.com.

As I shift my focus to coaching, I’m excited to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gathered over the years. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your game, I’d be happy to guide you on your chess journey. Feel free to send me a message if you're interested in working together.

Wishing you the best on your chess journeys!
