Talha has been a fantastic chess teacher for my son. He is patient, explains things clearly, and makes sure the lessons really make sense. He always puts in extra effort, whether by adjusting lessons to fit my son’s needs or by spending extra time to help him understand. Most of all, my son is excited for every session and really enjoys learning chess with Talha. I highly recommend him.

I am currently working with three children and one adult client on Upwork. My strengths lie in the opening and the middlegame, where I provide/improve an opening with clear explanations on why you make those moves, as well as the upcoming middlegame plans. I also excel in tactics, often giving tactical exercises to my students to solve to improve their tactical awareness, as well as giving insights into why they may have missed the solution. Most importantly, we go through games played (both online and over the board) to understand how you play and analyze other options that could have been tried.
