Savetha was able to walk me through many new actionable concepts, even if it was only our first lesson. She was very professional, responsive, and patient. At the end of the lesson, I received lesson notes and homework materials, which are very good for practice. I would definitely recommend her!

I just completed my first lesson and Savetha was wonderful. I am a beginner and she helped me understand my mistakes in my first game and provided me with some helpful "homework." Her quality of work is excellent, she is very professional, easy to work with, and is a very nice person.

I’ve only had a couple of classes so far, but it’s been very enjoyable and I’m learning so much. Savetha is a patient teacher and I’m excited to continue my chess journey with her. Her hourly rate is very affordable for me given her top-notch credentials.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I've been playing chess professionally for over 20 years and for that reason, my students find me trustworthy. If quality and proven results is your key component, then I am definitely your best choice. I listen to you and what you need in every class, and work with you to find the best and most efficient way of learning.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step I take is to get to know a little bit about the new student and also evaluate his/her level of understanding in opening, middle game and endgame. The classes are strategically designed to meet the students' needs. You will receive all the materials via email for future reference. What do you need? You need a connection to the internet, laptop, desktop, or smartphone and a chess board.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
