Uthra was very informative and gentle with my daughter. She had her playing chess after one 30 minute session and she couldn't wait for her next lesson. Thank you so much.

Coach Uthra has been very kind, patient and engaging with my five year old son. She takes time as a long as my son needs, in order to understand a certain concept in Chess and works with him. Biggest of all, she manages to keep him focused and motivated throughout the lesson and even after that, by providing puzzles and questions for home work, which he enjoys doing. I would recommend her anyday to anyone, hands down. She is definitely a great Coach.

Excellent Coach. Always on time and flexible. Great with kids. She takes good notes and gives children howe work puzzles. Tournaments are a great! Children to learn from the mistakes made by analyzing the game with the coach. My son says he has "an awesome time learning Chess with you".

Uthra started to teach chess to my kids couple of months ago. Both are at beginners level. It is been a great learning experience for my kids and they are throughly enjoying the class. off course they look forward to the class. Uthra can easily adjust her teaching levels to various degree based on kids knowledge level. She makes sure that they follow and understand the concepts. Uthra is very responsive and patient to answer all their questions. At times when my kids ask me a question about the game, I reach out her to get answers as I am not aware of all the rules of the game. She is been very helpful, and ensures all our questions and concerns are addressed. I would highly recommend Uthra.

My 7 year old (son) has been taking classes from Uthra for the past 7 weeks now. It has been very helpful and Uthra has lot of patience to work with somebody starting off with Chess like my Son. I can see the change in him as he is really looking forward to the class and her offline instructions post the class. Highly recommend
