” Aalia is 8 year old. She is very calm , gentle and Confident. She is hardworking and passionate about the things she likes and enjoys. She is focused and determined to achieve her goals . During her holidays she wanted to learn something new and that’s when we got her enrolled into chess. Initially we weren’t sure if she would enjoy it but Hardik assured us that she would get engaged soon. That’s what happened and today she thoroughly enjoys and looks forward to her chess classes. And the credit for that goes to Hardik who keeps the balance between making the class fun and focused so that kids enjoy and learn at the same time. I am really impressed with the way Aalia’s skills have evolved and I hope she continues to work hard towards attaining her goals. “
Coach feedback on Aalia :
” Aalia is obedient, from the day of joining she never missed a class, highly punctual and regular. She always tries really hard to give her best by using all the strategies she has been told. Whenever she makes a mistake, she herself tries to find out and always possesses an approach of rectifying it and not repeating it again and again. She really has a beautiful sense of grasping. She is also very particular about submitting assignments, worksheets, and attending the practice sessions. She is a perfect pack of all good qualities that a student must possess. “
