Akshay is a very patient and an… Akshay is a very patient and an encouraging mentor. He pays undivided attention to his students during class. Hridaan has benefitted from his teaching techniques and learnt many new chess skills. I wish him all the very best always.

Akshay has been teaching Freya chess… Akshay has been teaching Freya chess now for approximately 7 classes. He is a very patient teacher and has done a great job exciting Freya about chess. I think this stems from his genuine interest in chess and teaching kids. It’s not a commercial transaction. What’s been great to see is how he has slowly built her skills class on class and crated genuine curiosity for chess.

Great experience Articulate, sharp, patient & flexible Akshay has helped re-invigorate our daughter's interest in chess. He is open to suggestions and even arranged a tournament for his students. Can’t wait to start my second daughter with him as well. Thanks a lot Akshay!

Patient. Engaging. Generous. I have found Akshay to be an excellent coach for my 7 year old son. Coaching a jumpy and distracted kid virtually is no mean feat! I have found Akshay to be patient, engaging and encouraging. He keeps the class interesting. I think the fact that he is has a similar aged child of his own helps him to relate much better and understand the child’s psychology. He is also quite generous with his time - I have noticed that he does not end a game abruptly or rush the child even when the time is up. He always completes the game and explains the moves, asks why the child chose a certain move, probes the child to think of a better move. My son enjoyed the class, but we noticed that his attention span was lower, so when I suggested that Akshay cut the length of the class, he was receptive to it and tailored the class accordingly. Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend without hesitation.
