Chess is one of my top subjects! I teach chess for all levels and ages! I am a U.S National Chess Master with a rating of 2302 (that's ranked top 15 in the entire state) and World Federation Master, former US National Junior Champion and 2x IL High School Champion (2010-2011). Chess improves focus, memory, concentration, patience, and teaches one to make the right decisions in life. Starting from age 6, it surely helped me improve my grades in school and helped me acquire life skills necessary for the real world.

I am currently teaching in multiple schools in the Chicagoland area. I also give private lessons to more interested students. I am 21 years old and started playing chess since I was 6, which gives me over a decade of experience! Note to parents: The benefits of playing chess are immense, and this would be a great opportunity to enrich your child's life by introducing chess! You can contact me via phone: 224-766-6709 or email grandmastergauri@gmail.com
