About Siddharth G.

4.8

(123)

Hi there, my name is Siddharth and I have been teaching chess in public and private schools, including private lessons, over the last Ten years. I love to see students grow with each lesson and accomplish their goals. Under my tutelage, I have helped students advance from beginner level to tournament level competition. Recently, six of my students have won in their respective tournaments. I attended De Monte Fort University in England and earned my degree in Textile Technology and Business Management in 1976. Since then I have been fortunate to be able to travel worldwide. I enjoy teaching children of all ages, as well as adults. My philosophy is to make chess a fun experience while improving my students' technical skills. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
