Success Stories
“ My son, Nial, started chess when he was about 5 years of age. After a while he started saying he didn't want to continue, though we tried to keep him carrying on. COVID came and classes stopped. After that he never wanted to restart.
Until last year, in August 2023, we told him, to at least start a lesson with Viraj, and see if he liked it, then we would carry on. Nial hasn't stopped since.
He enjoys his classes with Viraj. In his words, 'Viraj makes the class fun and easy. He makes me play better and I enjoy chess now. He makes the classes different and interesting.'
Viraj has found a way to teach Nial in a way that he understands what is taught to him, keeping it challenging and stimulating for Nial.
Nial, and I too, very easily and undoubtedly recommend taking on Viraj as a chess tutor”
