Akshay is very professional about his… Akshay is very professional about his classes, always on time. For many of us parents dealing with remote sessions it is very helpful if we can help with log in anf leave for our own work calls as per schedule. Unfortunately this has not been my experience with many other teachers. He has a very positive and cheerful disposition and is respectful towards the student, not drawing on authority to enable learning. He communicates feedback very well. I would recommend Akshay very highly to any parent trying to develop interest in their child for the game of chess

Akshay is a very dedicated teacher 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.

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!

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.

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.
