Parent Feedback

Our daughter Isha has recently started learning chess. Initially, she did not have a strong opinion about the game, but over time she has gradually developed an interest and now truly enjoys playing it.

She has been learning chess for the past 4 months and has already built a good understanding of how the pieces move and how the game works. It’s encouraging to see her confidence and curiosity grow.

We really appreciate Dixit Sir’s teaching approach. He understands each child’s abilities and adapts his coaching style accordingly, which makes it easier for kids to learn and stay engaged. His patience and ability to connect with students have made a positive impact on Isha’s learning journey.

We would also like to thank the Destiny Chess Academy team for their support, including flexible scheduling and make-up classes, which has been very helpful. We look forward to seeing Isha continue to grow and enjoy her chess journey in the coming years.

It has been a pleasure teaching Isha. In just four months, she has transitioned from a curious beginner into an energetic player who truly enjoys the game. She understands the concepts well and is always eager to learn new things.

Her growing confidence and constant drive to improve are wonderful to see. I look forward to supporting her continued growth in her chess journey!

Keep going, Isha! ♟️✨
