Introduction: I am Arnav your chess instructor. I am currently teaching chess on different after schools, summer camps and private lessons in and out the city. I love working with kids of all ages. Some of my major accomplishments are drawing with a candidate master and a year back I got one of the top places in the scholastic state championship. The Structured Process that we follow to make our students better: - Identifying student's weakness personally and working on it in depths . - I am a firm believer that working on individual's weakness and rectifying the problems is the most effective approach for a professional Chess Player. - Creating a customized lessons as per your needs. - Work on your Visibility (to better analyze situations), calculations, strategies, openings and variations. - We prepare and guide students for chess tournaments Thank you and I look forward to spreading my knowledge.

I’ve learned a lot in such a short period of time. Really good at breaking down concepts and instilling them through practice. Above all super patient with students and passionate about the game. I would recommend AK Chess to anyone.

Arnav is an excellent chess teacher. He has been started teaching my twin boys (6) 3 weeks ago and we have been having great experience. He is excellent in many ways: his methods and keeping the kids engaged throughout the lesson, he follows up immediately after the session with homework and is always on time. Also Arnav is very focused on the outcome and seeks feedback continuously to maximize the outcome of the session. I would definitely recommend him for anybody at any age and any level. Mahmoud
