I've been teaching chess for 17 years, and have taught 4000+ group and private chess classes. I've developed an effective method of identifying key shortcomings in my student's thought processes and decision-making, and building an appropriate lesson plan around addressing them. I haven't worked with a student whose thinking I didn't change. I've helped 4 students get to National Master, 6 to National Expert, and one to become a Pan-American medallist.
