I am Dusan Colović, 52 years old, a FIDE Master from Serbia.My teaching of chess is based on my personal experience, and I aim to pass that on to my students. I am a proponent of the classical approach to learning chess. This means we learn chess starting from endgames, then move on to middlegames, and finally study openings. Why do we start with endgames? The answer is quite simple. If we make a mistake in the endgame, we won't have time to correct it later, because there are only a few pieces left on the board. It's much easier to correct mistakes in the opening or middlegame, whereas in the endgame, it is exceptionally difficult.
We start by learning simple endgames, those with a few pieces on the board, and work on basic tactics (combinations with two or three moves). Once we've mastered that, we move on to more complex positions where we have to calculate more variations with a greater number of moves. After that, we focus on studying openings tailored to the student's playing style.
For homework, I always assign a chess study with a tactical element because I believe that tactics should be practiced daily, as chess is essentially tactical. Whether we prefer to play risky (tactical) or calm positions, without tactics, we cannot become good chess players.
