Hello Friend,

I have been tutoring since 2016 - even before I started helping people on Wyzant.

I am a very effective chess tutor/chess coach for anyone from an absolute beginner to an intermediate tournament player. I have competed in over 50 nationally rated chess tournaments and I have been ranked the top 8% of nationally rated players in over-the-board classical chess by the US Chess Federation.

Hello Friend,

I have been tutoring since 2016 - even before I started helping people on Wyzant.

I am a very effective chess tutor/chess coach for anyone from an absolute beginner to an intermediate tournament player. I have competed in over 50 nationally rated chess tournaments and I have been ranked the top 8% of nationally rated players in over-the-board classical chess by the US Chess Federation. I have been ranked in the top 1% of online rapid players on chess.com and I am a two-time Walter Muir Correspondence Chess Champion.

I love seeing the lights go on when a student has that 'aha!' moment! I have a passion for what I do and I inspire a love for the game in my students. Contact me today if you have any questions or to get started learning how to win more at chess!

Best wishes,

Rama

Extremely knowledgeable and patient

What an amazing chess teacher! He was so patient and was able to breakdown each topic he was presenting to me. I am excited to start continuous lessons with him.

Great Tutor

Rama is an excellent tutor. He is also very patient and caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would like to become more proficient at chess. Rama is also very flexible when scheduling tutoring sessions.

Simple and sincere tutor

He is the teacher you are searching for. Guides and handhold the kids with his knowledge and dedication. Goes through the concept systematically. My kid looks forward to the next session.

Beginning student

My youngest son is learning to play chess. Rama was incredibly patient with him and helped walk him through his first lesson. My son wants to play more chess!!!

Todd, 10 lessons with Rama

Patient and knowledgeable

Coach Rama has been excellent with my boys- patient, engaging and guiding them to learn and develop areas that need improvement. He is also consistently engaged with parents on their progress and is invested in their development by encouraging them to participate in tournaments and play with other students. Highly recommended.

Good fit for my son

Rama spent some time getting to know my son while engaging him in chess during their first lesson. We are glad we found him and will continue to take lessons with him.

Mary, 1 lesson with Rama

Smart and Personable

Seems to be a kind ans caring person, who has amassed a great deal of chess knowledge, but doesn’t “throw it in your face.’ I am looking forward to our next lesson with eager anticipation.

Fantastic Tutor. Fun, patient, and so many varied and important nuggets of wisdom right out of the gate. Best tutor I've had to date by far!

My game is instantly better. Coordinate practice, tactics, homework, study outlook, philosophy, videos, book recommendations and schedule, practice goals etc. Rama is one of the best out there without a doubt. Unequivocally recommend.

Pointing me in the right direction

Rama gave me direction and exercises to look at the chess board in a different way. After one lesson I was able to get some techniques to improve my vision of the board and I feel like I’m already improving. Highly recommend.
