Our son, Suyansh Sai, is a 9-year-old fourth grader who has been learning chess for almost a year. From the beginning, we noticed his genuine interest in the game and were pleasantly surprised by how naturally he followed the rules and enjoyed playing. We realized that with the right guidance and coaching, he had the potential to grow even further, which led us to enroll him in Destiny Chess Academy. Over the past year, we have seen a remarkable transformation in Suyansh. His confidence has improved tremendously, and he has developed a deeper understanding of the game. What excites him the most is exploring different chess variants rather than just regular games. He enjoys thinking creatively, planning clever strategies, and finding ways to outsmart his opponents, which makes every game a fun learning experience for him. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Coach Jeshua for his exceptional dedication and patience. One quality we truly admire is the way he patiently listens to every student’s questions, even when they interrupt the flow of the lesson. He never hesitates to explain concepts multiple times until every child understands them. His encouraging and student-friendly teaching approach has made learning chess enjoyable and has helped Suyansh build both confidence and strategic thinking. Thank you, Coach Jeshua, for nurturing our child with such care and for instilling strong chess concepts in him. We are incredibly proud of Suyansh’s progress, and much of the credit goes to your guidance and encouragement. We look forward to seeing him continue to grow under your mentorship and achieve many more milestones in his chess journey.
