Other experiences
I launched an academy that specialises in chess coaching but main objective is to improve mental strength and mindset. 'Mind Warriors Academy'
Best skills
I try to understand the student as best as I could and am willing to adapt if something isn't working out.
Teaching methodology
You can ask me questions at any time. I listen to what you think you need and would operate to suit. I would also guide based on what has and hasn't worked for me in my chess career.
