This would not have been possible without you being his first coach. Really appreciate your teaching. Again, really appreciate you for building Isaac a solid foundation in chess, I can see that is one of the main differentiators of Isaac against many other kids. Best Regards&#8230;He told me he learned a lot from your lesson so that he recognized all the techniques his opponents tried to use on him.\u00a0\u00a0I can see he&#8217;s built more confidence and interest in chess after today&#8217;s winning. It was a very good experience for both of us.\u00a0\u00a0I am very grateful for the teaching, guidance and help you have given&#8230;how fantastic you are as his first coach. You helped him build up a very solid foundation in chess play in two years time&#8230;You are very good at communicating and your teaching is well organized, I can\u2019t imagine him reaches his level without your coaching in two years&#8230; He is very picky in who he wants to pay attention to.\u00a0 He usually lost focus to me or my wife after 40 secs or so.\u00a0 He still has a lot to learn from you, not just chess strategy but also life experience. I think you are very good at teaching chess: sometimes (my son) explains a bad move I made when playing against him&#8230; I can see it must have made crystal clear sense to him.\u00a0 In my opinion teaching skill is more important than personal achievement as a coach.\u00a0\u00a0I am very happy with the progress he has been making under your coaching. My wife and I are very grateful for the help you have given him.\u00a0 I have also recommended you to some of my friends who have kids interested in chess&#8230;I will probably still consult you on his chess in the future.\u00a0\u00a0You have given him tremendous help and he won\u2019t reach his level today without your coaching.&#8221;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t   \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" wpsm_col-md-12 wpsm_col-sm-6 colorbox_singel_box\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel wpsm_panel-default wpsm_panel_default_5311 \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"wpsm_panel-heading\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wpsm_panel-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYoung Students Academic Achievements &#038; Feedback<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"wpsm_panel-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\r\n \t<li>From a parent: \u201cHi, Mario\u2026You are a great coach: very patient, encouraging and responsible.

When he became the &#8216;chess kid&#8217;, it changed his whole trajectory.&#8221; -June 2021<\/li>\r\n \t<li>From a high school student: &#8220;Thank you so much for teaching me not only chess but also lots of life lessons. I really appreciate how understanding and patient you were, and especially how encouraging you were. I would always come out of chess lessons feelings as if I actually accomplished something, that I understood something that I didn&#8217;t before.
