Amazing coach!
Pranali helped me improve my weaknesses by reviewing my games with me. She also suggested helpful lessons available for free that were specific to what I needed to practice. She is very insightful and helpful and I enthusiastically recommend her!

A Truly Exceptional Chess Coach!
We are incredibly happy with our experience and cannot recommend Pranali enough! We have two children, each with very different needs, and she has been a perfect fit for both.
Our older child had previously played chess but lost interest over time. Since starting lessons, her passion for the game has been completely reignited. The teacher's engaging and challenging approach has not only brought back her love for chess but has also sharpened her skills immensely. We are so proud to see her confidently competing and even winning trophies at recent tournaments!
For our younger child, who started as a complete beginner, the experience has been just as positive. The teacher is patient and makes learning the fundamentals fun and accessible. She has a wonderful ability to break down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps, and our younger one is now grasping the game with surprising speed and enthusiasm.
Pranali is always punctual for lessons and masterfully adapts her teaching style to match each child's individual level and learning pace. She doesn't use a one-size-fits-all curriculum; instead, she provides customized lessons that keep our kids both challenged and engaged.
Furthermore, we greatly appreciate the consistent communication. Pranali provides regular updates on our children's progress, offering insightful feedback and valuable suggestions for their continued growth in the game.
Highly recommend!!

Passionate, Organised
Pranali is very thorough but also explains the concepts in simple and easy to understand manner. She analyses the games that you played and gives you the opportunity to find better moves in critical positions. She also provides homework to work on after every class. She is a very good tutor and is excellent for adults or kids.

suggestion is to take a demo class and decide yourself
We have been taking biweekly classes from Pranali for two months. She is patient and explains the concept well. The classes are taught on zoom and lichess. After every class homework is provided in the form of lichess studies which helps in practicing the concepts taught in class. She also analyses the games played on lichess and tailors the lesson plan to address the mistakes made in the games. My daughter is happy with the classes and we have already recommended pranali to take classes for our relatives kids.
