A: For me, teaching chess is interesting in both ways: sharing my knowledge with the students and also learning something new myself. My biggest priority is the achievements of the students; in the lessons I always try to convey complicated information in a simple form, so that my students can understand it and later use it in their own games. I currently have 6 years of experience coaching online and live(otb). In Ukraine, I was working in the local chess school; I was coaching small kids otb.  Nowadays I'm mostly giving online chess lessons and lectures to chess players of different ages and levels. For 3 years in a row, I've been one of the head coaches in the "Baltic Chess Camp" for kids, which is organised and sponsored by Kasparov Chess Foundation Europe. Also, I had the experience and pleasure of working in a group training camp in Sweden, with such experienced and well known coaches and supervisors like: Vladimir Poley (IM, FT, IA) and Kovalev Andrei (GM, FST). I really enjoy helping people to understand and play this beautiful game!

A: Throughout my youth career, I was a multiple medalist in Ukrainian championships across U12, U14, U16, and U18 sections, primarily in rapid and blitz chess. I won the national Ukrainian championship (U14 boys) in 2017, placed 5th at the European Chess Championship (U12 boys) in Prague in 2016, and became a National Master of Sports in Ukraine in 2019.  In 2020, I officially received the International Master title from FIDE. I scored 2 GM norms in 2022 in Sweden and have been a winner and medalist at many international chess events across Europe.
