We have been lucky to have Sohan's coaching. Sohan changes his style of coaching based on his student's strengths and weaknesses. He has excellent training material for every aspect of the game. Sohan focuses on all-round development and improvement in aspects of chess understanding of chess.He works with his students on how to handle attacking positions but beyond that he also coaches them on how to play the dull positions. His emphasis on practical decision making at the chess board is extremely useful.

My son (USCF Id: 14932943) took lessons from coach Sohan. I was very pleased with coach Sohan's approach; especially, the end game strategies were really impressive. It’s amazing how better my son's chess has matured in such a short time; his rating jumped-up in a matter of few weeks after the lessons.
Coach Sohan is patient, friendly, and great with kids. I highly recommend him!
