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.

My kids have been taking chess classes from Akshay for the past 2 years now. He is the most professional and polite teacher I have interacted with amongst all online / offline classes which my kids have attended. 

As regards to his class, he takes one-on-one sessions which contribute a lot to improving one’s game. His patience and dedication are evident as he tailors the class as per the need of the child learning. For example to engage my younger one, he focussed more on puzzles and building a rapport with him initially to get him into the game. 

The greatest testament to his teaching effectiveness is that within 6-8 months of my son taking his classes, he made it to his school’s chess team. 

 I highly recommend Akshay to anyone looking for chess classes for their children.

Akshay is a fantastic instructor and an amazing coach. The tactics and strategies he has taught my son has helped him to improve his game a lot. Highly recommend!

Akshay is a very dedicated teacher. He assesses the level of aptitude of his students very well and tailors the chess puzzles/sessions accordingly. He also ensures that all activities in the class are well-planned and timed. My son's suggestion is to play games in alternate classes and not in every class.

My son is really improving beyond our expectations since Akshay Sir started teaching him Chess. His interest, performance and love for the game has increased manifold times. Thankyou Akshay Sir for all your patience, guidance and motivation. You are really an inspiration to many.

My son is 10 yrs and take chess class with Akshay. He really enjoys this class a lot and looks forward to it every week. He says that Akshay teaches very well, explains all the moves and helps him build strategies step by step. The class is very engaging and informative. My son loves every moment he plays with Akshay. Highly recommend his expertise and teaching.

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!

My son is 5.5 years old and has been taking online chess class from Akshay sir since around 5 months. He knew basic chess moves before joining the class. We have seen a significant improvement in his game since the time he has started classes with Akshay sir. He is a very patient coach. As my son is very young, he gets distracted easily. Akshay sir never stops him from discussing topics other than chess. He indulges him for a while, and eventually gets him back on track. This makes the class all the more interesting for children. Also, he always starts the class with a game, rather than with instructions. He lets the child play first, and teaches later. My son enjoys and looks forward to his weekly chess class. Thank you for all your guidance and support!
