He takes a holistic approach, not just going over the basics like hand ranges, EV and odds, but also bankroll management, mental strategies on how to improve and avoid tilt, and how to prepare for a poker session to maintain maximum focus throughout the session. He will also take time for hand analysis of hands you played and had questions about, or interesting hands he played that highlight certain lessons. I've been very happy with Italo as my poker coach and would highly recommend him.
