About Chess Classes
What Chess Means at Butterfly Talent Academy
I see chess as more than a game - it’s a way to grow calm, confident, strategic thinkers. Been at this since 2009, so trust me, I know how much kids change when they start playing. My classes are like a 'brain gym' for young minds, where learning the Game of Kings is about unlocking their best self.
How Classes Happen
- I keep things lively and interactive. No boring lectures here, just lots of hands-on practice and activities.
- I teach everyone from absolute beginners to those already chasing that next big win. My curriculum covers basic moves, tricky tactics, and everything in between.
- Every child gets attention. If you’re new, I’ll walk you through the basics. If you know your way around the board, I’ll help you sharpen those advanced moves.
- Weekend chess classes only, so it fits easily into busy school weeks.
Why Chess With Me Sticks
Kids pick up more than just chess moves. They start thinking ahead, get sharper at solving problems, and learn to focus. I see them become patient, steady, and quietly confident with every session.
Who Can Join
If you’re 6 or older and want to try chess (or get better), you’re welcome here. Doesn’t matter if you’re just starting or already pretty good - there’s something for everyone.
Interactive chess lessons and chess coaching for kids are at the heart of what I do. Come see how chess can change the way your child thinks and feels.

My Story
We’re Butterfly Talent Academy, BTA if you want it short. Been here in Banaswadi since 2009, watching kids go from shy to stage stars. We call ourselves Butterfly because, honestly, talent needs space to grow, right? We started out wanting a spot where you could learn Bharatanatyam and then jam on a guitar, all in one day. Our big thing? 'Jalsa'—every student gets their moment on stage. Feels more like family than an academy.
My Work
Classes for All Kinds of Talent - We teach Hindustani vocal, Western guitar lessons, violin, drums, Bharatanatyam for beginners, Kathak, painting, pottery, taekwondo, and chess.
Global Certification - You can earn a Trinity College music certification with us—makes your skills official, looks great for future plans.
From Basics to Stage - Doesn’t matter if you’re new or skilled, we guide you from first steps to kids stage performance Bangalore.
Perform, Don’t Just Learn - We push for stage time. With our events, like 'Jalsa', students get used to the spotlight and build real confidence.
