• 1) When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  My interest in chess began early and grew into a serious passion for tactics, strategy, and practical improvement. Chess taught me structured thinking and decision-making, which later became useful in trading as well.
  
  My interest in currency trading (forex) started when I began exploring how global economies, interest rates, and news impact price movement. That journey expanded into crypto trading, where I learned market cycles, volatility, and how to manage risk effectively. Over time, I built a systematic approach to trading and analysis.
  
  I chose private tutoring because I enjoy helping others learn faster with the right guidance. My sessions are practical, structured, and personalized—focused on building real understanding, not just theory.

• 2) Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  In crypto and forex coaching, I focus on helping students understand the market from the ground up — not just “tips,” but real skills. Some of the main topics I like to cover are:
  
  Market basics: how crypto/forex markets work, liquidity, volatility
  
  Chart reading + technical analysis: trends, support/resistance, patterns
  
  Indicators (used properly): RSI, moving averages, volume, etc.
  
  Risk management: position sizing, stop-loss, risk-reward
  
  Trading psychology: discipline, avoiding FOMO, managing emotions
  
  Building a strategy + improving consistency through journaling
  
  In chess coaching, I teach:
  
  Tactical patterns, calculation, and visualisation
  
  Opening principles + building a simple repertoire
  
  Middlegame planning and piece activity
  
  Endgames (key checkmates + practical endings)
  
  Game analysis to identify recurring mistakes
  
  I enjoy discussing strategy, decision-making, and improvement methods. The only topics I try to avoid are “get rich quick” expectations or gambling-style trading — I prefer a realistic, skill-based approach.

• 3) Did you have any role models, a teacher that inspired you?

  Yes, I’ve had role models in both fields. In chess, I’ve always admired strong players and coaches who focus on fundamentals and clear thinking — they inspired me to study the game more deeply and improve step by step.
  
  In trading (forex and crypto), my biggest inspiration has been educators who emphasise risk management, discipline, and consistency, rather than hype or shortcuts. Their approach taught me that long-term success comes from a solid process, patience, and proper decision-making.
  
  Overall, the teachers I respect most are those who make complex topics simple and focus on building real skills — that’s the same style I use while coaching my students.

• 4) What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  For me, the most important qualities are patience, empathy, and the ability to teach in a practical way. Every student learns differently, so a good tutor needs to listen first, understand what the student struggles with, and then guide them with the right method.
  
  A good tutor should also:
  
  give honest feedback
  
  track progress and correct mistakes early
  
  keep lessons interactive and motivating
  
  teach discipline and mindset (especially in trading and chess)

• 5) Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  One anecdote I often share with students is from chess. I once played a game where I was winning, but I got overconfident and played too fast. In just a few moves, I missed a simple tactic and lost the game.
  
  That moment taught me something powerful: being “ahead” doesn’t mean you can stop being disciplined. The same lesson applies in trading. Many traders lose money not because they don’t know analysis, but because they get emotional after a few wins and start overtrading.
  
  That experience shaped my coaching style — I teach students to focus on process over ego, and to follow rules even when things are going well.

• 6) What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  In the beginning, my biggest difficulty in trading was thinking that “more trades” means more profit. I learned the hard way that success in forex/crypto comes from patience, risk control, and discipline.
  
  Another challenge was dealing with losses emotionally — because trading can test your mindset a lot. With experience, journaling and following a system helped me become more consistent.
  
  In chess, my challenge was avoiding rushed moves and improving my calculation under time pressure. Chess taught me to slow down, think clearly, and trust the process.

• 7) Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  My passion is helping people grow in confidence through learning. I enjoy teaching because I like seeing the moment when a student finally understands something that felt difficult before.
  
  In chess, my passion is training strategy and calm decision-making. In trading, it’s teaching students how to approach forex/crypto professionally — with discipline, patience, and risk control — instead of emotion or hype.

• 8) What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

  Besides surviving these interview questions 😄 — what makes me a Superprof is my ability to explain complex things in a simple way and guide students step-by-step.
  
  Chess and trading both require strong decision-making, discipline, and pattern recognition. I help students learn the right process, avoid common mistakes, and stay consistent — with clear coaching and real practice, not confusion.
