| I've had the pleasure of taking several chess lessons with Artiom. Artiom is the most patient, kind, and generous teacher I have ever had the pleasure of studying with. I highly recommend him. Your lessons with Artiom will be both time, and money, well spent.

| I have taken lessons from Artiom for a little over 2 months and his rates are very reasonable, his personality and teaching skills are top notch and he's an incredibly strong player as well. My rating has gone up over 250 points on ICC in 2 months and as soon as I get out of my financial crisis i will be returning for more lessons. Artiom listens to your needs as a player and can help in all areas, but you have to go out and work hard as well! Good luck, hes a great teacher that I highly recommend.

| I have been taking chess lessons with Artiom for 10 weeks now, and I can say that I'm very happy with it. I think Artiom is a great chess instructor. He is an honest, hard working person but that's not all, his chess teaching methods are very effective and to-the-point. By combining analysis of your games and regular homework positions, Artiom effectively focuses on the weakest parts of your chess. And with regular doses of such relevant chess knowledge, I'm very optimistic about the results. As for the homework it is my favorite part, both when I try solving it by myself and later when we go over it. In the last 10 weeks, I have been introduced to 60 extremely instructive positions which me and Artiom have discussed in great depth. I can remember all of them because we spent a lot of time working on them, and I can see how this will build a very important base of typical chess positions in my brain. Artiom also organized an on-line chess tournament between his students. There were 12 participants, all very good chess players, from all over the world. The tournament was a beautiful idea and it turned out to be a great success! I'm very glad I participated! Both the chess and the conversations with people from other cultures was much, much fun. I hope this tournament becomes periodic :) In short If you are serious about improving your chess, willing to work hard and put a good amount of time in it, then Artiom is the chess coach for you, he will work as hard as you do and put in a considerable amount of effort into improving your understanding. A great instructor!

| If you are looking for a chess coach that will strengthen YOUR game, then you should choose IM Artiom Tsepotan. Why? Two reasons. First, he is a superb educator that uses your games as the material for each lesson. I have found that this method helps me to avoid mistakes, and has improved my thinking. And, as I advance the lessons do too?therefore, I am always learning at my level. Second, the lessons are fun and motivating. Artiom is a very positive person who encourages you to learn, and is respectful of your ability. I really enjoy the lessons and that makes it so much easier to learn. I recommend him highly!

| I had lessons with Artiom Tsepotan throughout 2006 and most of 2007. Artiom is very punctual and well organised and never once missed a lesson without advanced notice or good reason. My chess improved working with Artiom. I have learnt countless things from him, ofcourse it is not always easy to put them all into practice. Artiom has helped to lay the foundations for future impovement. Artiom is far more than a chess teacher, he took a genuine interest in my progress, set homework and provided sample games where they were relevant. Artiom's thoughtfull advice has been of invaluable benefit to my temperament and preparation for tournaments. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about taking lessons
