Ram's Chess Classes — Summer 2026 · Texas
Beginner-friendly 1-on-1 coaching powered by a custom digital portal for homework, progress tracking, and 24/7 learning.
About the Portal
Hi, I'm Ram. I've been playing chess for 5 years and have a rating of 1660. I'm 14 years old and I'm excited to share the game I love through a Student Portal that goes beyond basic lessons.
I believe learning shouldn't stop when the class ends. That's why I've built a custom *Student Portal* where each student gets their own account. Parents can track every lesson via history logs, while students play interactive homework to earn points and climb the Student leaderboard.
My goal is to build a fun, chess community where kids learn to slow down, visualize the board, and think several steps ahead—all while having a great time.
The Experience
We use custom digital tools to ensure every student masters the board faster than traditional methods.
Every single lesson is logged with detailed notes in your private portal. Parents can see exactly what was mastered and what's coming next.
No more paper worksheets. Students play through custom "multi-step" puzzle campaigns in their browser to earn points.
Our custom training board highlights all legal squares, helping beginners visualize piece movement and "click-to-move" with ease.
Friendly competition! Students earn rank badges and climb the rankings by completing puzzles and showing improvement in class.
Students can ask me questions directly through the portal at any time, ensuring they never get stuck between sessions.
I provide tailored advice and "Student-exclusive" puzzles based on your child's specific playing style and progress.

FAQ
What is the Student Dashboard?
It's a private portal where your child can solve homework, earn leaderboard points, and see class progress logs. It keeps all history in one place.
Does my child need to know how to play?
Not at all. Most students start as complete beginners. Our move-highlighting technology makes learning how to move pieces very fast.
Are classes online or in person?
Both! In-person classes are held in Prosper, Texas. Online classes run over video call using our own dashboard — no downloads needed.
How does the homework work?
I broadcast "campaigns" (sets of puzzles) to the students. They solve them on their screen and earn points automatically.
