I always start by analyzing my students' games to find and correct recurring mistakes. Often, just recognizing these deficiencies is enough to improve clearly. Then I show methods on how to work on chess independently. If you know what and how to learn between our sessions, you will improve faster. My goal is efficiency, so I avoid teaching content that you can easily find on your own and instead give homework. We focus on analyzing your games and building an opening repertoire based on criteria such as available time, skill and style. "En passant" we also discuss how to make better practical decisions.
