George Gigoi,

Hello and welcome! My name is George Gigoi and I have been playing Go for over 12 years. I have extensive experience teaching both children and adults online, helping students from 20 kyu all the way up to 3 dan reach their personal goals. My approach blends strategic depth with patient, clear explanations so you can actually feel your strength grow with every game.
