Starting with three one-day classes last year, I began studying seriously in the beginner class starting last October. I started playing chess with Teacher Young-chan and have continued all the way to the competition class... Except for one term I took off because the schedules didn't align, I have diligently attended all the chess lessons! He always keeps the children engaged during class, and I was amazed to see how well he guides the children's thinking to expand as the class level increases. He is a great teacher who elevates both our interest and skills! Since January of this year, I think we have participated in a competition about once every three months. We have won awards ranging from 1st to 3rd place. Although we ended up with 3rd place in the recent National Youth Chess Tournament after a tiebreaker following our victory over 2nd place, seeing my child accept even that so maturely made me realize how much our thoughts and hearts have grown through chess. As a parent, I feel very proud to have given my child the gift of a truly healthy hobby. Although my child is busy studying, I highly recommend Teacher Youngchan's class, which allows them to receive excellent instruction regardless of location.

With the beginner class nearing its end, my child participated in their first-ever chess tournament! Just three months ago, we were learning the basics, starting from the movement of the pieces, so I was worried about whether they would be able to do well. However, the skills they honed through intensively learning in three months what would typically take a year elsewhere, along with consistently completing the homework and practicing as assigned by the teacher, really paid off at the tournament! Surprisingly, they took second place! As a parent, watching my child stand on the podium and witness their growth was truly touching! This is all thanks to the teacher's passionate teaching and personalized guidance for their individual development!! Thank you!

From the beginner class with the teacher, we immediately moved on to the intensive intermediate vacation special! Over the course of four months, my child's skills have grown tremendously! Thanks to you, we even participated in our first competition and unexpectedly received an award certificate. Since it was our first competition, my child was extremely nervous, made mistakes, and showed some inexperience, but as a mother, I was so proud of them to see them wait patiently, concentrate, and see it through to the end for five consecutive rounds. They handled the upsetting rounds they lost well to prepare for the next, and even when winning, they took the time to be considerate of their friends. It was truly a meaningful time! My child says they want to participate in the next competition right away. I look forward to seeing you in the advanced class! Thank you.
