NM Naveen Prabhu

If you're looking to improve your game, look no further.

I have over 7 years of coaching experience, and over a decade of playing experience. I've taught private lessons with students from beginners to 1800 USCF, and my students have seen rating increases of over 400 points. I create personalized lesson plans for every student, with a focus on the practical aspects of chess and how to perform best at tournaments.

Naveen Coaching

I offer private coaching, group lessons, and training games. Check out the services page for more information, or if there's something else in particular you're interested in, let me know. The first trial lesson is always free of charge!

What my students are saying

"After working with Naveen for a few months, I saw my practical skills improve significantly. We worked heavily on calculation and time management and I gained around 200 USCF points in my next tournaments. Naveen always provided homework positions, tips, and encouragement outside of class. Would highly recommend!"

"A fantastic mentor for anyone looking to push past their rating plateau. We focused on building a solid opening repertoire, training board vision, and which positions to spend time, and I feel like my skills have increased greatly."
