This is my 10 year old son Yadav Maharaj from South Africa, his favorite hobby is playing chess. His chess is good but I felt he could do a lot better and coincidently saw a post of Queenside Academy on Instagram. We were so happy that we could do a free trial session before we could decide on whether we wanted to join or not. The trial session with coach Sachin went very well, Sachin made Yadav feel so happy and confident that we were happy to sign in. Yadav participated in a school tournament and remembered a lot of what coach Sachin taught him and did well in his school tournament. Many thanks to Coach Sachin @Queenside Academy, we hope to learn more and more at each session. Yadav truly looks forward to his weekly sessions @Queenside Academy and really enjoys them!!!

Boikanyo Kekana is 10yrs old. He is a grade 5 Lerner at Greenwood college. He developed interest in chese earlier this year. He couldn't get enough time to practice at school due to unforseen circumstances. We then get informed about Queenside Academy and signed him for classes. Since he joined the classes he developed number of skills like communication, strategies, and get better at chess moves. He learned how to get into mental and physical shape, prepare for an important tournament, or how to overpower a specific formidable opponent.

"My kid, studying in Grade 4, is quite interested in chess, and to enhance his ability and keep up the spirit, I have enrolled him in Queenside Academy. Since then, because of Mr. Sachin Sir’s training and the puzzles given by him, his thinking ability has improved. They also organize tournaments every week, giving kids the experience of facing challenges from different peers. So far, it has been a great experience indeed!"

My son developed an interest in learning chess when he was around 5 years old. I knew the basics of chess but did not know how to train a kid of this age.One of my friend who was a national level player referred me to Queenside academy and insisted that I enroll him to the class.My son's trainer Mr Sachin knew how to teach chess to small children in a way that they can grasp and learn. Under Sachin's expert guidance, my son was able to learn chess quickly and play well.I can also see a good improvement in his approach to playing the game in the past few weeks.
