1 Chess lesson

Carla is a wonderful chess coach. She is of course brilliant at chess, being a woman grandmaster and Olympian. However, she is also a kind, patient, enthusiastic, supportive, and articulate teacher. The fact I'm lousy at chess didn't bother her, but the fact that I love it made her excited to help me get better. I would heartily recommend Carla to anyone wishing to learn more about chess!
Diane K.

1 Chess lesson

We have been having lessons for 6 months now. She is kind and very patient. She is very knowledgeable in various openings, middle and end games, and tactics. Whenever my son has a question, she always has the answer for him. They analyze the game/tournament my son had and discuss how to improve his chess skills. I would definitely recommend her as a chess coach.
Namratha V.

27 Chess lessons

We were looking for a chess coach for our 6 year old son. Due to the pandemic, we did not want to take him for in person classes. We were a little skeptical about online chess. But wanted to give it a try. We got to know Dipankar through Wyzant. He uses a digital chess board on the screen to play and teach chess. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He is very prompt. He adjusts the lessons according to the learning speed of our son. Overall, very pleased with the lessons.
