Shantanu is a fantastic instructor. Under his supervision, my son climbed up the rating ladder very quickly. He is easily accessible to my kid when in need and is making my son a much better player.
As a parent I have worked with many coaches and he is hands down the best coach I have ever met. I really like Shantanu's working style and I appreciate the work and passion he puts into it. Highly recommend it.

Shantanu has coached my son (9 years old) for the last 6-9 months. Since working with Shantanu, we have seen positive growth in my son's understanding of the game and confidence in applying the strategies. Shantanu is very patient and positively reinforces the kids thought process to improve their interest in chess. Even though online, the training sessions have been hassle-free, and my son has no difficulty interacting with Shantanu. We highly recommend Shantanu to anybody who wants to take their skill to the next level.

I started tutoring with Shantanu as a complete novice, knowing only how the pieces move and a few elementary "rules" for the opening. With Shantanu I hit the ground running.... Two months later I have a clear understanding of what the game is all about and what I should work on to get better.
And besides I am enjoying myself a lot playing. Highly recommended.

Shantanu is a great coach and I highly recommend him. I hit a ratings ceiling in my chess and Shantanu has been insightful in identifying what I need to do to improve. Each lesson is very productive and between lessons I know exactly what I need to work on. He has a very deep understanding of all stages in the game and can communicate effectively what needs to be modified.
Shantanu has the technology sorted to make the sessions easy. He is great to work with and I look forward to the lessons!
