Let's Build Your Child's Confidence, Chess Skills & Focus — Trusted by US Families for 5+ Years

Shubham has been great. We had to switch our time slot twice already because of my kid's soccer practice and he was super chill about it. Lessons are solid. My son actually knows a few openings now instead of just winging it from move one. Good stuff.

Great coach. Super patient with my 9yo who usually can't sit still for more than five minutes. 5 stars

He just joined his middle school chess club but wasn't really getting anywhere playing the other kids. Brought Shubham in to help him out. Pretty stoked with the results so far. He actually knows how to checkmate now instead of just trading pieces until a draw. Solid classes.

This guy is super legit. really helped my kid with his tournament nerves. 10/10

Usually getting my son to do anything after school is a nightmare, but he actually looks forward to these classes. No nagging required from me! Awesome coach who keeps it super fun.

Good tutor. My son can be kind of all over the place but Shubham handles it fine. He explains the moves clearly and my kid doesn't complain about going to class. His rating went up a little bit lately so I guess it's working. No complaints here

Shubham is an awesome coach. My 8-year-old used to just blitz out moves and lose in five minutes, but now he actually takes a second to think before touching a piece. The lessons are super engaging and Shubham has a great vibe with the kids. Definitely recommend him.

Really glad we gave these classes a try. Shubham is super chill with my 9-year-old and explains the board in a way that actually clicks for him. Definitely seeing solid progress in his weekend games!

awesome coach my kid actually likes logging on for class lol super patient guy totally recommend him

We have seen a huge improvement in our daughter's focus since she started these lessons. Shubham keeps the hour moving quickly so she never gets bored or distracted. Great coach for younger kids

I was honestly a bit skeptical about online chess classes at first, but Shubham completely proved me wrong. My son(9 year old) was doing okay in his openings but he kept falling apart in the endgame and throwing away winning positions. It was so frustrating to watch, Shubham immediately noticed this during their first few games and shifted the focus of the lessons. He is incredibly patient. Now my son actually knows how to calmly finish a match without panicking. Really great experience so far.

Excellent coach. Was able to engage my son for whole hour.

Shubham is a great find. My 10 year old gets frustrated easily when he loses games, but Shubham has a really calm way of handling it.He is teaching him how to actually learn from the mistakes instead of just getting mad. Highly recommend his classes

Aashvi has really been enjoying her lessons.. Shubham gives just the right amount of practice material so she stays engaged, but it never feels overwhelming with her regular schoolwork. Her board vision is already improving.

Shubham has been fantastic to work with. Even with the huge time zone difference, he is always perfectly on time and easy to communicate with. My daughter really looks forward to her weekly games with him.

Really glad we found this class. Instead of just playing random moves, Shubham actually takes the time to go through my son's past games and shows him exactly where he went wrong. He breaks down the board in a way that is super easy for a kid to understand. Very solid coach.

Shubham is a very practical teacher who gets straight to the point without wasting time. My kid always logs off happy and is actually winning a few games now.

Great coach. Classes are going well.

Shubham has been teaching my 8-year-old for a couple of months now. He is very patient and keeps the classes very straightforward. My son actually understands how to develop his pieces safely instead of just pushing pawns randomly. We are very happy with his overall progress.

Quick update after 6 months of classes: my son is a completely different player. The biggest change is purely his confidence on the board. He doesn't panic when he is in a tough position anymore, he just takes his time and thinks it through. Shubham is straightforward, patient, and really knows how to teach. 5 stars

Very nice coach. My son is much more confident now.

I never thought I'd see the day when my daughter would choose chess over watching YouTube, but here we are. Shubham makes the whole hour so incredibly fun for her. She is always laughing during the sessions and keeps talking about her games long after the class is over. So nice to see her genuinely excited about learning!

We’ve only been doing classes with Shubham for a couple of months and the difference in my sons game is night and day. He used to just rush all his moves and blunder his pieces, but now he actually takes his time to calculate the board before touching anything. His online rating has shot up almost 300 points! If you want a teacher who actually gets results and makes your kid think, Shubham is exactly who you need.

My daughter used to look out the window or play with her toys during her previous online classes. I have no idea how shubham does it but he keeps her completely locked into the screen for the full hour. He uses these rapid fire puzzle exercises that force my kid to pay attention. Her focus has improved not just in chess but with her school homework too - absolute game changer for us

Completely transformed my shy son's confidence on the board. He doesn't second guess his moves anymore. 10/10 coach.

getting my kid to sit still for online classes is usually impossible but he actually logs himself in early for shubham! he makes the board tactics so fun that my son just thinks they are solving puzzles. total lifesaver for us

I rarely write reviews but I had to for this. if you want your kid to actually improve at chess and not just waste time playing random games, book Shubham. my daughter was stuck at the same beginner level for almost a year. Shubham came in and completely fixed her weak spots by drilling specific tactics with his puzzle sets. the improvement in just a few weeks has been crazy - she is spotting board patterns I cant even see! best investment we've made for her extracurriculars

Honestly my son gets distracted so easily so I was worried about online classes. But shubham has the patience of a saint. Even when my kid zones out or asks the same question again and again, he never ever gets annoyed. he just calmly brings his attention back to the board (takes a lot of patience to teach rowdy kids online but he handles it so well!)

Love how understanding Shubham is with timings. We had to reschedule a few classes because of school exams and he was completely cool about it.

My youngest was totally obsessed with only moving his knights and would just ignore the rest of the board. I thought a coach would just get annoyed or force him to memorize standard openings but Shubham was so clever about it. He actually went with it and spent a whole class showing him how to use knights properly, and then slowly got him to care about his bishops and rooks too. he really gets into the childs mind and adapts the lesson to how they think instead of forcing a strict curriculum... Such a relief to find a tutor who personalizes things this well

As a working parent, I can't always sit next to my son during his online classes to see what he's actually doing. What I really appreciate about Shubham is that he takes ther initiative to keep us in the loop. He sends regular little updates letting us know exactly what concepts they are focusing on and where my kid needs a bit of a push. It gives us total peace of mind knowing we aren't left in the dark.

We've been really impressed with how organized Shubham's classes are. We tried a different tutor before, but the lessons felt a bit random. With Shubham, everything is planned out perfectly. He has this massive database of puzzles separated by topic, so instead of just playing aimless games, my son is actually learning specific concepts step-by-step. The progression makes total sense. It’s a very structured way of learning and exactly what we were hoping for

Really amazing at reading the kid's energy... if my daughter is having an off day he notices instantly and changes the vibe to keep her engaged

Excellent communication. Shubham regularly calls us every other month or so just to give us a proper update on how our son is progressing and what we need to work on. I'm necer left guessing about how my child is doing.

Love the structured teaching style and whatsapp homework updates

Love how patient he is. My son loves showing him his new watch or talking about his cricket matches before the class starts and Shubham genuinely listens to him. It feels more like a mentorship than just a strict class.

My son was so nervous before his first school chess tournament Shubham gave him a great boost of encouragement right before the weekend telling him to just focus on patterns and not worry about winning or losing. Helped his confidence so mich.

Shubham is an absolute professional. He takes his coaching seriously and keeps the kids completely focused the whole hour.

My daughter has so much fun in his classes. He gives her these really cool tricky puzzles and she gets a huge kick out of trying to figure them out. She literally cheers in the kitchen when she gets a hard one right

Super reliable coach, we have such a crazy schedule with school and sports but Shubham is always on the call exactly when he says. Even if there is ever a timing shift he texts well in advance on whatsapp so we can plan ahead, love his consistency

Shubham is very professional with his classes always logs in right on time and handles the kids so well. My son stays focused the whole hour and really respects him which is rare for an online class

My son didn't even know how the pieces move but within a few weeks Shubham had him telling me about tactics!! The way he lets them control the screen to make the moves kept my kid super engaged from day one itself. perfect for young kids honestly

What I love most is how he handles losses. My 8yo used to get so upset and cry when a game went badly. Shubham tells him stories about how he used to make the exact saem mistakes when he was learning. It completely shifts my sons mindset from feeling defeated to wanting to fix the mistake right away. Huge life lesson for him

My son has tried several extracurricular activities, but chess with Shubham is one of the few things he consistently looks forward to every week. He's patient, engaging, more confident and thoughtful in his games. We could not be happier with his progress.

We've been really happy with the progress our daughter has made. One of the biggest changes we've noticed is in her confidence. Shubham helped her focus more on learning and improving instead of just winning... she enjoys chess much more now.

I knew the basics but kept losing games to silly mistakes, shubham helped me overcome that easily.
He is a really chill guy but super sharp, my ratings have already gone up

I started chess with Shubham from absolute scratch, not even knowing how the pieces moved properly. Honestly, he made it so easy to learn. Instead of boring me with rules and theory, he got me playing right away and showed me how to think logically about the board. I went from losing every casual game to actually winning against my friends who have played for years. If you are a beginner, he is the perfect coach to get you started.

Shubham has been absolutely wonderful with my daughter. In just few months, her class ratings went from 600 to 1100,which completely blew us away! The progress in the first month alone was amazing to watch. He really knows how to connect with kids and bring out their best. If you want real tutor who gets real result fast,definitely reach out to him.

Shubham is a very patient mentor. My son used to get mad when he lost, but Shubham's way of teaching him how to think about the moves has really helped him feel better and boosted his confidence. Now he looks forward to his sessions every week.
