Teaching methodology

Every coach has their own way but my main method is to
-Create a full opening repertoire for the student.
-Try to find the weaknesses on student's play and improve on them.
-Study every stages of the game: middlegame, endgame, calculation, openings...
-I give homeworks, because without them it's impossible to improve.
-Though classics are important and i use them, I follow all the recent tournaments and selecting my examples from them, so i've more than classics.
