Coaching is easy to sell in the abstract and hard to picture. This page is the honest version: 60 minutes, broken into what your child does minute by minute, and what you receive afterwards.
The same structure every session. Repetition here is the point: a student who knows what the hour looks like can spend all their attention on the chess.
The session opens with one specific goal agreed with the student, not a vague plan. Usually it is the single weakness from last week, or the theme of the current block.
Tactics drawn from the student own games and last week homework, then a quick pattern drill. Warm-ups are the part students skip and the part that moves calculation speed fastest.
The core of the lesson. One theme at proper depth - an opening idea, a middlegame plan, or an endgame technique - worked through on positions that resemble the student own games rather than textbook diagrams.
The student plays while the coach comments, then the game is reviewed move by move. This is where clock management, calculation under time pressure and decision-making habits are built.
Three or four specific positions to study between sessions, with the reasoning attached to each one. Homework is never a page of puzzles with no explanation.
Time for the student to ask anything that came up, and for the coach to set the focus for the next session so progress is continuous rather than episodic.
The part that matters most is not the chess. It is that you can see what is happening without having to understand it yourself.
After your free trial you receive a written assessment: current level, the specific gaps, and what the first block of work will cover. You are not left guessing.
An opening plan and a tactics focus for the weeks ahead, in writing, so progress is something you can point at rather than something you take on trust.
The lesson is built from games your child actually played, analysed in the session. This is the clearest difference between a real coach and a tutorial channel.
NM Dilshad Mohammed teaches every session personally. There is no assistant, no handover, and nobody else who needs to understand your child chess.
Every session is live over video with a shared board. Nothing to travel to, and students can join from anywhere in the world.
All published times are US Eastern Time. Because families are spread across five time zones, the exact slot is always agreed with you directly rather than picked from a grid.
Capped per programme. The exact maximum is confirmed with you when you enquire, because schools and clubs book different formats.
No contract, no minimum term, and no ambiguity about what happens if you need to change a session.
This is a plain-English summary. The binding version is in the Terms.
By appointment only
You will find out where your child actually stands, get a written assessment, and have a proper answer to whether this is worth paying for. No card, no obligation.
