Class Experience

This class is for beginners who know the basics of chess include the board setup, piece moves and values, notation, check and checkmate and want to jump to intermediate and advance level.
This class take places in 8 Days and we focus for the whole class in three most important part of chess, opening, middle game and end games. 
Day 1:Quick test for understanding the level and knowledge, understanding the opening and how to start  
Day 2:Middle game tactics: Fork, Pin, chess puzzle
Day 3:Middle game tactics, Skewer, chess puzzle 
Day 4: Middle game tactics, Double attack, discovered attack, puzzle 
Day 5: Stalemate, Checkmate in 2 moves, mate with 2 rooks, mate with queen and rook, puzzle
Day 6:Checkmate in 3 moves, mate with queen-king, mate with rook-king, puzzle
Day 7:End game strategy, Rook end games, Queen end game, puzzle
Day 8:Review and test all lessons to know how much each student learned.
We try to have a fun class with full of learning that help everyone participate in the class and enjoy the improvement they achieve.
We share the chess video to watch for understanding the lessons and the learner will participate in each step of lesson to solve the puzzle or lesson questions. Also, there is a chance for players to play with each other and with their teacher during the class. So, I recommend to the parents to create an account in Lichess.org for learners to be able to play with other learners and their teacher during the class and this games will be analyzed by teacher to review the tactics and lessons. This is optional and not a mandate but very help.
Based on the face to face experience that I have in the school chess clubs and in online teaching, I prefer to know first the level of students and we try to start with a quick test to understand the level and organize the curriculums based on the level of each student.
I try to be friend with my students and open minded for the new ideas that student have and based on the experience and the believe that I have, I try to help the students to understand that chess is more than a game and each tactics and strategy that we talk help them in the life and in their school studies, like planning, problem solving, deep thinking and how learn from their mistakes and how sacrifice in chess and in their life for achieving more.

What you think, you will be! If you practice  and enjoy it enough!
Chess is Art, Science, Geometry, Math and more than you think!
I am a professional accountant with MBA but as a chess professional, I have more than 20 years experiences in top level of chess that gave me a good confidence for winning many trophies. 
After completing the master class through the online course with Garry Kasparov the world chess champion, I started to teach the young ages in 64 Square Chess School in Edmonton, AB, Canada and already working with more than 30 students as a coach and chess instructor in Citadel Middle School, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The class that I handle includes the three main important subjects of chess( opening, middle game and end game) for beginners to advanced learners. 
It covers the chess strategy and tactics through the main source of chess.com and lichess.org with some more specific curriculums and will be organized as private or group class.
We try to have a fun and passionate environment in our class and focus on improvement in any level.
The values that I believe at chess comes from the nature of chess that is more than a brain game or sport. I focus on the nature of chess to help my students improve their IQ and soft skills like, problem solving, deep thinking, strategic thinking, time management and concentration skills that help them in their real life and for the math improvement in their schools.
To share my interests, the main is chess and for more, I do swimming, kayaking, travelling with family and sometimes reading books in quiet.  
For me, life intimate chess and I try to help my students believe it! When you believe, you have fun and improve.
