Teaching experience

I have been training students from last 17 years. I have worked with students from 1000 fide rating points to 2100 and have made their progress easier and enjoyable! I have been in the coaching field from 2007. The experience has helped me to get along and motivate the students to get the best out of them.

Major achievements as a coach-
1. More than 50 students have achieved FIDE International Rating.
2. Youngest player to achieve it was in this month(April2024) Kavish Bhattad who is just 5.5 years old.
3. The peak rating a student named, Atharva Jaeel achieved is 2100+ .
4. Students have won laurels in many city-level, state-level, and national championships. You can check the list on our academy website chessquestacademy.com/achievement/

Best skills

Recognizing the individual style of each student and working to get the best out of him.
Giving regular tasks to train by themselves.
Setting up small targets so that student is always motivated to keep working and improving.

Teaching methodology

I consider two things very important. the connect with the student and the lesson plan. As written in many old scripts the best way of transferring knowledge is through a good conversation. So i try to make the class as interactive as possible. Also a personalized lesson plan is very necessary to know what we are targeting in a specific time frame.
