Viraj Rathod Chess Coach
No reviews yet

Hello, I’m Viraj Rathod, a passionate online Chess Coach with 3+ years of professional teaching experience, working with students from India, UAE, UK, the USA, and Canada.

I specialize in teaching beginners and intermediate players, especially children, in a simple, structured, and stress-free way. My focus is not just on moves, but on understanding ideas, patterns, and decision-making, so students gain real confidence while playing.

♟️ My Teaching Approach

1) Concepts explained in easy language using real-life examples

2) Step-by-step learning instead of memorizing openings

3) Focus on tactics, thinking process, and practical play

4) Sessions adapted to the student’s pace and personality

5) Friendly, patient, and encouraging environment

I strongly believe that chess should be enjoyable, not intimidating. Many of my students re-enroll because they feel comfortable, motivated, and genuinely interested in improving.
