I have found Akshay to be an excellent coach for my 7 year old son. Coaching a jumpy and distracted kid virtually is no mean feat! I have found Akshay to be patient, engaging and encouraging. He keeps the class interesting. I think the fact that he is has a similar aged child of his own helps him to relate much better and understand the child’s psychology. He is also quite generous with his time - I have noticed that he does not end a game abruptly or rush the child even when the time is up. He always completes the game and explains the moves, asks why the child chose a certain move, probes the child to think of a better move. My son enjoyed the class, but we noticed that his attention span was lower, so when I suggested that Akshay cut the length of the class, he was receptive to it and tailored the class accordingly. Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend without hesitation.
