Practical experience in chess training but no certificate as a chess trainer.
In general I give not many training lessons due to lack of time
Selecting candidate moves is very important in chess!

Teaching methodology
Improving chess intuition by analyzing and explaining games.
As long as you don't have a good chess intuition and a sharp tactic view, you won't get far!
I don't like to work on opening theory.
