The Chess Coach Who Makes History Come Alive
Akshay has been a wonderful chess coach for my 7-year-old son over the past around 8 months. He strikes the perfect balance, fun and engaging, yet firm and patient when it counts. He keeps careful notes and remembers details from past sessions, which helps students track their progress and ensures each lesson builds meaningfully on the last. Akshay also has deep knowledge of chess history. He weaves in fascinating stories from the game's past and connects them to what students are learning, making each class feel richer than just moves and tactics. My son looks forward to every session. I wholeheartedly recommend Akshay to any parent looking for a coach who is both skilled and genuinely invested in their student's growth.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I really enjoy teaching your son. His interest in the game, his sharp and inquisitive mind, and his ability to focus for close to an hour, despite his young age, are all traits that impress me no end! I also appreciate how you take a personal interest and sit in whenever you can so that you can guide him wherever required and track his progress!
