Being a professional coach and working globally, I have an experience of more than 8 years and has been growing many talented kids at State , National and International level.
Some of them have already won laurels for their respective Countries, States, District and still doing it.
Having successfully worked with more than 200 students, I can help you upskill your game.
I gained the title of FIDE INSTRUCTOR in 2021.

My core strength is to help a student develop an understanding of the game. This is done by analyzing students' games followed by understanding their strengths and areas of work. Based upon that we create a specific plan and include everything from generic to specific work. Active play, dynamic balance, basic positional ideas, calculating in the right direction, finding creative ideas are some of the many things which I focus on.
Especially, I help students in developing middlegame and Opening preparation.
Playing practice is according to me another important thing. I also work as a playing partner, opening trainer.

Apart from teaching, psychology is another important thing which plays a role. Everyone has their own way of training and succeeding. Its really important for a Coach to keep upgrading himself in all aspects. This helps us understanding students better and improvising our training time to time. Methodical training with the use of supportive tools such as various videos on different online platforms, books are also included.
I carry an experience with working on online training such as Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet,Webex.
