Interacting with people around the world is what I enjoy the most because in addition to learning a lot and sharing my experiences that's where I feel that we all belong to one single community.
I've spent several years in the online teaching world, refining how I work and trying to understand the changing needs of this place, which I see as the future of education.
I live together with my lovely girlfriend Gisele who is an inspiration for me to work harder each day.
Chess
Being a top ten player of the country that I represent (Luxembourg) and living in South America, has put me in contact with players from different backgrounds and playing styles.
I have been studying chess for 25+ years. From the moment that I got my first book I knew that I would love the game forever. I know that the road to improvement can be hard. I've been there. But my goal is to make this road enjoyable and smarter.
Now my focus is on Udemy. I want to share my passion for the game of chess and teach everything that I learn as an eternal student of the game and an international player.
Productivity and Time Management
I have always been passionate about time management since it affects many areas of our life. I also work on several activities that are very different from one another, so planning how to handle my time and days is something that I don’t take lightly.
Therefore, I am happy to share with you everything that has worked well for me over the years to be able to manage my tasks efficiently
