$22Progress in chess with a passionate coach. Teaching adapted to all ages, video recording of lessons! ♟

I went through this myself, not so long ago, so I know how to adapt to the student to meet their needs. My teaching is based on my experiences as a club player (in leisure and during competitions), as well as on various resources (chess books, online videos, websites). My learning method will be done via the strengths and weaknesses of the student. Here are the 3 phases of play that we will study through exercises where I will accompany the student towards the answer. -Opening: We will see the key principles to know to develop properly, as well as adapted recommendations on game theory. -Mid-game: Work from tactical exercises to refine intuition, improve calculation power and stimulate creativity. We will also explore strategy and the art of designing an effective plan. -Endgame: Learning basic checkmates, fundamental endgame concepts, and endgame pawn structures. Finally, I will analyze the student's games and then offer them suitable exercises, a kind of homework that will allow them to progress even when I'm not there! By the way, I propose to record the lessons and share the link with you so that you can review them if necessary.

Dmytro

I had my first class with Dmytro and I really enjoyed it. He takes his classes very seriously (he was very punctual, he had indicated to me in advance the apps/tools needed for the class, he was asking if I have questions, he replied very quickly to my messages before the class...). Also, he was very patient with me (I have a low level in chess...). I liked a lot that he was not just explaining "book" theory of chess, but also the practical tricks. I will book a second class. 100% recommended :)
