Parent Feedback

Our daughter Thanvi recently turned seven and is thriving in first grade. She is a bright, self-motivated learner who eagerly explores new ideas. With a strong passion for reading, Thanvi enjoys immersing herself in books and discovering new stories and knowledge. She also has a natural flair for both drawing and mathematics, consistently impressing us with her creativity and problem-solving abilities.

Thanvi’s interest in chess began when she saw her friends attending chess classes and became eager to explore the game herself. She took a trial class with Roshan at Destiny Chess Academy and immediately felt at ease and excited by what she was learning. The welcoming environment at Destiny Chess Academy, combined with Roshan’s engaging and supportive teaching style, made it clear that this was the perfect place for Thanvi to begin her chess journey. Over the past five months since Thanvi began her chess lessons at Destiny Chess Academy, we have seen remarkable progress in her skills, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact this has had on her.

We deeply appreciate both Destiny Chess Academy and Roshan for the exceptional experience they provide. Roshan’s kindness, patience, and dedication to helping each child grow shine through in every class. He listens attentively to the kids and provides thoughtful guidance, fostering both confidence and improvement.

We are happy to share that our daughter has been recognized as the “Champion Kid of the Month.” This acknowledgment reflects her continued efforts, positive attitude, and commitment to excellence. We are truly grateful for this honour and the encouragement it brings to her journey.
