About me

My name is Artem Gilevych and I was born in 1993 in Ukraine. I started playing chess when I was 7 years old and when I was 13 I moved to Italy, where I have had success both as a player and as an instructor.
In 2014 I became a Fide Master (FM) and an International Master (IM) in 2018. In the last few years I have also been focusing on teaching chess apart of actively playing it.
I am also passionate about other sports as an amateur.

Teaching experience

I started teaching 4 years ago and I am a member of the school of chess “Le due Torri” http://www.scuoladiscacchileduetorri.it
In 2015 I became an instructor. I teach to young players with an excellent prospective and I have helped many players to make a big step in terms of quality of their game. I can give guidance in their chess growth to players of various levels, starting from amateurs to strong player.
My approach to my students is a friendly one but efficient at the same time.

Other experiences

Responsible and guide of the Italian Federation in U20 World Championship in 2017 and 2018

Best skills

Friendly and adaptable approach, suitable for every level and style of players.
I usually treat each student differently because everyone has a different style in the game. I adapt as much as I can and I prepare different lessons and exercises for each student. At the end of every lesson I ask questions to make sure things have been understood properly and I also assign exercises if necessary.
I do strongly believe that the most important thing in a student-teacher relationship is respect.

My strongest fields are:
Positional game
Different structures and their understanding
Tactical game

Teaching methodology

Each student has its own personalised lessons in which I talk about one particular argument and then assign some “homework” to strengthen what has been learnt.
I also replicate matches played by students to understand their problems and limitations and I suggest solutions to overcome them. Working on the weak points of students, allows them to grow and become stronger players.
