"Working with Sid has been a fantastic experience for Satvika. Her passion for Scrabble really took off during his summer camp, where he helped her move beyond just placing words on the board into thinking strategically. The boost to her confidence has been incredible to watch. Sid makes every session engaging and fun — we couldn't ask for a more inspiring mentor!"

"Both my sons, Suhaas and Shreyas, have been taking regular Scrabble classes from Siddharth Nithyanand, and we've been very happy with him as a coach. He runs both online and offline sessions, which makes it easy to fit around the boys' schedules, and his charges are very reasonable for the quality of coaching. The results speak for themselves — both children have improved noticeably, and Shreyas has picked up some strong finishes in recent tournaments."

"I have been his student the past 6 months and am very grateful for the opportunity. He is a masterclass in the scrabble world, has a vast knowledge of vocabulary which is the basis, and tops it off with great strategy, diligence and fervor. Needless to say, he is a true gentleman, with honesty to assess the pitfalls and reinforce the strengths. Have thoroughly enjoyed the classes, as he goes above and beyond what is expected. Thanks Sid for your invaluable efforts."

"It was an invigorating three hours for the students of Grades 6 and 7 today as they immersed themselves in the world of Scrabble. For some, it was their very first encounter with the game, while others had the opportunity to sharpen the skills they had been building at home. Siddharth, a professional Scrabble player, kept the students engaged throughout the workshop. He challenged them with puzzles, introduced them to game strategies, and encouraged them to think critically, all while ensuring there was plenty of fun and laughter."
