How long have I been playing chess for? I have been playing chess since I remember myself, and for the last many months I have been teaching chess to young and adult audiences in my local chess club, both beginners and advanced groups. What are my chess accomplishments? My biggest accomplishments came mostly online, maintaining a rating of 2850+ on bullet 2400+ on blitz, 2500+ on rapid, but OTB I have multiple results against tilted players, including GMs, being one of the best prospects during my teens in my country! What makes me a good coach, and what do I offer in my lessons? What makes me a good coach I believe is my ability to understand my students' areas of weakness, through interactive exercises and gameplay. This way I am able to specialize the lesson to match exactly the student's needs. Also, I have previous coaching experience, both online and in real life, teaching younger and adult audiences from the basics of chess, up to strategical patterns, with a lot of success. I like to keep my lessons as interactive as possible, meaning I can offer a variety of specialties to my students. I like to specialize in beginner students, since I consider myself very good in teaching the basics of the game and getting a total beginner to understand the goals and the rules of the game. Apart from that, I have many strategical positions and games in my reportoire to show from, and discuss the imbalances of a position and what someone needs to always keep in mind when playing. Finally, I like to add some live games to my lessons, in order for the student to practice the strategies we go through, and see how the students react in live games scenarios, not aiming for the victory but to better understand what's going in a game at all times.
