From 2020 I Trained many rated players and helped them improve their chess skills and fide rating points, which some students achieved in state and national tournaments.

Notable works:

Customized Opening Preparation, Theoretical Endgames Knowledge, Calculation Training

I would first try to understand the student's playing style by carefully looking at his/her recently played games. after studying students' games, I would start working on the students' areas of weakness in our classes to ensure steady growth in the student's chess understanding. mostly I work on calculation, the way of thinking, decision making, and psychology, I would assign the students a personalized homework routine. I would make sure to keep in touch with his/her homework updates every day.
