Teaching methodology

At the beginning of each training chapter I analyze the knowledge of my student in a certain field. My primary goals are to study the games of my student and to identify his/her mistakes and weaknesses in earlier games. Then after, I jointly make a teaching plan together with each of my students with the aim to correct these weaknesses. By problem solving I evaluate if my student has accepted the given instructions. Finally we proceed to the basic plans and ideas in the future openings that will be implemented by my students.
Teaching is performed via (Skype).

My lessons consist of the following:
1) Analysis of your games - this is crucial to identify mistakes, identify key weaknesses/strengths, establish how to correct them.
2) Analysis of strong games - I think it is very useful to see the way of thinking and solving the problems from top players.
3) Exercises - I like to give my students to solve a position based on themes we were working.. This is important because I want to see if my student understood well everything I explained to him/her in the following lesson.
4) Theory adjusted to the style and knowledge of my student. The most important for every player is to know the basic plans and ideas in the openings he/she most common plays.
