Teaching experience
I have been working with players of all levels ( From Absolute Beginner to Advanced tournament players) for the past few years.
Most of my students had a significant jump in their rating ( 300+ elo in a year). I focus more on practical play and a deep understanding of the game rather than a memory-based approach. I believe if you understand the concept then you require less memorization.

Other experiences
I actively follow all major top-level events to stay updated with modern theory. I also enjoy annotating chess games.
Best skills
I have a broad and flexible opening repertoire, So i can guide students through almost any opening system.
I believe there is no "favorite" thing in modern chess , One has to learn and understand all aspects of the game ( Dynamic positions , Static positions , endgames). Being an active player, I am also working on myself to get better at all these aspects so i can share my understanding and guide the student accordingly.

Teaching methodology
Learning is a never-ending process, you either learn something new or refine your understanding of known concepts.
As I mentioned, I have worked with students of all levels, so I have a clear understanding of the common challenges players at each level face. I share my experience and training methods to help them overcome these obstacles, as I have personally gone through many of these phases myself.
Initially, I focus on the basics, particularly pattern recognition. For me, chess is all about recognizing patterns and reacting accordingly.
After some time, once the student’s tactical alertness improves, I shift the focus to the slower aspects of the game, such as planning and understanding the subtle differences between similar ideas. This helps build a deeper overall understanding of chess.
Finally, I focus on the theoretical aspects of the game — whether openings or endgames — once the student has developed sufficient practical strength to handle various types of positions. Only then do deeper theoretical lines truly make sense, and the student can rely less on pure memorization.
I will assign homework regularly and expect the student to be consistent with it. Additionally, I will set small targets and provide feedback on a monthly basis.
Lastly, there are no shortcuts or tricks in chess. One has to go through the hard process and remain consistent to improve.
