Since starting classes with Soumik, my calculation skills and tactical vision have reached a new level. He has a gift for identifying 'hidden' weaknesses in my games that I never would have noticed on my own. He provides excellent homework and analysis of my previous games, which has led to a direct and measurable increase in my online rating. Truly a dedicated and sincere coach.
Soumik’s classes are incredibly well-structured and hands-on. He provides excellent study materials and homework that keep you sharp between sessions. I particularly appreciated how he analyzes my previous games to identify specific weaknesses I needed to work on. Since starting with him, my decision-making and logical reasoning have seen a marked improvement.
Soumik is a fantastic coach who truly understands the game at a high competitive level. His focus on strong fundamentals and clear thinking has completely changed the way I approach the board. He doesn't just teach standard moves; he challenges you to think deeply about every position. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to build a professional foundation in chess.
I highly recommend Soumik as a chess teacher. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex strategies into simple, easy-to-understand concepts. His patience and encouraging nature make every lesson something to look forward to. Since my child started lessons with him, I’ve seen a huge boost in both their technical skill and their confidence at the board.
Constructed explanation with the intention of why this is necessary.very very crystal clear way of explanation depending upon students level. Honestly you are a true mentor.
