Varo Arutinian
I have 2154 national and 1882 peak international FIDE rating ratings.fide.com/profile/13308815 I’ve been playing chess for more than 14 years and coaching for approximately 4 years
I try to make my lessons not only instructive but also fun, because there is no sense to learn chess if we don’t enjoy it, right? 
Usually my training program is individual and based on your own game level, weaknesses and other factors, and my experience mostly showed that this simple method works! (check out the notes on my profile )
