His calm demeanor, clear explanations, and ability to motivate young learners have helped our son grow both in skill and confidence. Thanks to Sir, our son now plays with greater focus, strategy, and joy. We highly recommend him to any parent seeking a dedicated and inspiring chess coach.
Perfect! My 8-year-old son has been taking chess lessons with Soumen and we've been impressed with his progress so far. Soumen is excellent at introducing important techniques in a way that's fun and easy for kids to understand. My son has learned how to control the center, develop his pieces effectively, and use checkmate patterns. It’s been wonderful to see how much he’s grown in skill and confidence.
Perfect! Soumen is an outstanding chess instructor. He expertly coached my eight-year-old, starting from the basic fundamentals of the game.

Perfect! I am a working professional based in the UK, and I took 5 classes with Soumen, as I was interested in getting better at chess.
Soumen is a fantastic teacher. He is very professional in his approach, and I found him to be very courteous and polite as well. Each class was very well structured, focusing on one tactic area per class, such as forks, pins, deflections etc.
What stood out for me was that outside class hours, he sometimes analysed the games I played on chess.com and provided me valuable tips for improvement.
The learning material and homework problems he sent me were also very helpful, as they kept me on track.
I found him to be very patient when I was solving puzzles etc during the class. He allowed me the time to think through and never made me feel rushed. When I made a mistake, he politely pointed it out, which helped me improve.
Also, Soumen was very accommodating with regards to the time zone differences, and was flexible with conducting the classes on the weekends.
Overall, I strongly recommend Soumen, and also wish him the best in his professional chess career!Perfect! My kid started with Soumen about 4 months back and I have nothing but only positive experiences that I hear from my kid. He has been a great mentor to my kid. Thank you

Perfect! Soumen is very knowledgeable teacher and he is taking keen interest in improving the chess skills of my 9 years old daughter.

Perfect! Soumen is an excellent teacher. His teaching technique helps to clear basic concepts first and builds a good foundation. He proactively helped me to fill the gaps in my game and address my weaknesses. His teaching methodology is focused on building a strong foundation first and hands-on thinking about strategies.

Just two months back I was introduced to chess which is quite a new experience for me. I had been always into outdoor sports and indoor games, specially mind games never attracted me. I felt the there was no activity in particular. But I consider myself fortunate that I got introduced to this game through Soumen Sir who had made learning this game so interesting and interactive that I have started loving it. I don't know whether the feeling would have been the same if it had not been for Soumen Sir. But when Mr Soumen started teaching and explained me lucidly how to play this game... I became more and more passionate towards the game. I felt like solving more puzzles and playing more games even if I was not able to win.
