Testimonials

Chathuranga is very helpful in making my child learn and improve in chess. Coaches Divya and Srini are very helpful in making sure my child understands the lesson, and makes her practice in class so she doesn't forget what she learned in the last class. They also assign tournaments with other kids, to make sure my child gets all the experience she needs. And even though it is online, my child learned a lot from it. I would definitely recommend Chathuranga Stars Academy for all students

Chaturanga Stars Academy is doing a wonderful job in chess coaching for kids. I have enrolled my 6.5 year old daughter and she is enjoying the class & learning the game. I initially wondered how they can teach chess online especially for kids, but i must admit they have exceeded my expectations. Both coaches Divya mam and Srini sir are very friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend Chaturanga Stars Academy for chess learning.

I would highly recommend Chaturanga Chess Academy . My kids used to play chess even before joining chess classes , I saw drastic improvement in my kids after joining chess classes with respect to their moves , strategies and it only kept improving. Coaches keeps the kids engaged by sending them daily puzzles , giving access to various chess tournaments . Initially I didn’t understand how chess classes online would work but I don’t have second thoughts joining my kids for online classes , Divya engaged through the classes very well .
sowjanya nemani
Joining Chathuranga Academy is one of the best decisions we have made. My son has been playing chess for 5+ years and has trained under multiple coaches so far. Coach Ethiraj Srinivas has perhaps had the greatest impact on his chess abilities. Coach E's approach is very structured and methodical. His game reviews make the students think and discover the right plays on their own. Overall, very happy with the teaching style, and Chathuranga's approach to chess capabilities development. Strongly recommend.

Both coaches( coach Divya and coach Srinivas) are very friendly and punctual on chess class timings. In each class correcting kids mistakes to move ahead to success.
