Teaching experience

Over the past four years, I have gained extensive teaching experience, having taught over 75 students from various countries around the world. The majority of my students have come from India, Singapore, the USA, the UK, and Qatar.

Having taught students from different parts of the world, I have developed a teaching approach that is effective and tailored to each student's individual needs. Through my experience, I have gained a deep understanding of the diverse learning styles and cultural differences that impact my students' learning, and have learned to adapt my teaching style accordingly.

Following are major achievements as a chess coach
- My student increased his FIDE rating from 1050-1900+ in just 24 months
- 3 students gained 200 rating points on chess com in 4-5 months of training and following the schedule.

Other experiences

Other than chess I have helped various chess academies and chess coaches to grow their online presence through organic marketing.

Best skills

I focus on student's strengths and weaknesses.

I use the Zoom platform to teach. After every class, you will get a Zoom recording link which you can download it later.

Teaching methodology

My philosophy is based on 2 things - helping students improve while they also have fun, and helping them become better human beings. So during the lessons, I'll teach them chess, and work on their mindset while also sharing lessons they can use in their life and future.

No matter what, every lesson you have with me will have a clear learning objective. After the lesson ends, you'll walk away with actionable takeaways.
No lesson is spontaneous, without a clear plan, without takeaways.
