I suggest building a powerful opening repertoire, improving all stages of the game (opening, middle, endgame)
I find an individual approach to each student. I find his weaknesses and try to build a strategy to relieve my player of his weaknesses and strengthen his best aspects of the game. I am a demanding teacher, I give a lot of information.
