Student Story

Parents Feedback:

My daughter Srihitha Dharsi is 8 years old and currently she is in 3rd Grade. She has been practicing chess for the past 2 months and has shown immense interest in the game. We’re excited to watch her continue to progress and reach new heights in her journey! Our coach, Ishan, is really knowledgeable, kind, and he has a lot of patience with kids when he is teaching, and he is giving his best. She has learnt Chess from scratch in a short period because of the friendly coaching and guidance given by Ishan. Thanks to the Destiny chess academy team and Ishan, they are reasonable in pricing as well. Also, we are happy that our daughter has been selected as a “champion kid” of the month of July. We wish this award will motivate her to many more accolades in her chess journey.
