Chess Teachers for young children in India

skk

Mods: please move as appropriate.

I wanted to share data(put together between myself and my bro ) on chess teachers in Pune - as of summer 2009 - this is what I have ( you can google for tel. nos etc ):

[ A ] Josph D’Souza Academy :
Days : Saturday and Sunday every week.
Timings : 4 PM to 6 PM
Tuition Fees :Rs. 600 for the first month and then Rs. 500 Per Month.
Age: 4
Location : Gupte Mangal Karyalay, Opposite Kesari Office, Narayan
peth.
Note : It will do even if the parents do not teach (Do not KNOW )
chess to the son.

[ B ] Abhijeet Kunte Academy ( or Kunte’s chess academy)
Days : Saturday and Sunday every week.
Timings : 5 PM to 7 PM
Tuition Fees :Rs. 700 Per Month.
Age: 4 will be OK
Location : Diamond Nursing Club, Opposite Anandban Club, Aundh, Pune.
Sounds like this is near Sus Road.
Note : It will do even if the parents do not teach (Do not KNOW )
chess to the son - but they are SELECTIVE, sounds like they will even reject candidates if they aren't bright enough.

The only reason a son(male) is mentioned is because I was scouting out for a grand-nephew and the responses are in that context - no sexism implied in this transaction. It will be interesting to see what happens, if anything, out of the ordinary, happens when I want to enroll a grand-niece.

I will be enrolling, assuming not-by-any-means-assured parental agreement, a grand-nephew shortly and so of course I will be checking this out further, as part of a visit in the next 4/6 months, and will share data.
