About Viraj
Hello, I’m Viraj Rathod, a passionate online Chess Coach with 2+ years of professional teaching experience, working with students from India, 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
Concepts explained in easy language using real-life examples
Step-by-step learning instead of memorizing openings
Focus on tactics, thinking process, and practical play
Sessions adapted to the student’s pace and personality
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.
