How it works
Three steps to your child's first lesson.
Meet the coach

What parents say
Real feedback from real families.
"My 7-year-old went from not knowing how the knight moves to beating his older brother in three weeks. He asks to practice every day now."
— Parent of James, age 7
"The coach is incredibly patient. My daughter is shy but she opens up during lessons. It's the one screen time I feel good about."
— Parent of Lily, age 6
"We tried chess apps but nothing worked until we found real coaching. The structure and accountability make all the difference."
— Parent of Oliver, age 9
"Dealing with younger kids with such patience is incredible. The way you teach kids is what we as parents need. Thank you."

Common questions
Everything parents ask before signing up.
My child has never played chess. Is that okay?
Absolutely. The Beginner Programme starts from zero — how pieces move, what the board looks like, the goal of the game. No prior knowledge needed.
How long is each lesson?
40 minutes for Beginner level and 45 minutes for Intermediate, Advanced, and Master levels. Short enough to stay focused, long enough to learn something real.
What do they need to join?
A laptop or tablet with a camera, a stable internet connection, and Zoom installed. That's it. We handle everything else.
How are groups organised?
Every lesson is private 1-on-1. Your child gets the coach's full attention for the entire session.
How often are the classes?
Most students attend twice a week. We'll work out a schedule that fits your family's routine when you book the trial.
Is the first class really free?
Yes, completely free with no obligation. It's a real lesson, not a sales pitch. Your child will learn something and you'll see exactly how it works.
What happens after the trial?
If your child enjoyed it, we'll recommend the right level and schedule. Monthly plans with flexible cancellation. No long-term contracts.
