Chess Lessons
» Live
Lessons are conducted one-on-one and are tailored to each student's
needs.
In addition to his
own expertise, GM Akobian employs the most up-to-date resources for
instruction including databases, software
and supplemental written materials.
» Via the Internet
This method of chess instruction allows the player/student who might
otherwise be unable to take a lesson with a Grandmaster, to receive
such instruction in the comfort and convenience of home or anywhere
an internet connection is available. Consequently, students from all
over the world take advantage of the opportunity, afforded by this method,
with GM Akobian. Both student and instructor connect to the internet
via ICC (Internet Chess Club) so the same chessboard appears on both
the student's computer screen and GM Akobian's as well so when either
makes a move on the board, it instantly appears on the other's screen.
GM Akobian and his student will also be simultaneously in contact via
phone or Skype.
» Group Lessons
These are usually conducted on Saturday afternoons and include from
2 to 10 students. GM Akobian's rates
are very reasonable and affordable compared to rates charged by other
GMs.
