The teachers and the teaching style is exceptional. I did not think that my daughter would like these classes but thought of giving it a try and they did not disappoint. Now we are in the Chess Intermediate course and my daughter wants to continue even further!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chess is a complex game that teaches kids critical skills like logical thinking, planning and creative problem solving and has been shown to boost their IQ, focus and academic scores. We have been teaching chess to kids 5-15 yrs old and STRONGLY recommend that you give it a try

Also, Chess is a game that can be easily learnt online without the inconvenience of driving to classes and waiting outside.

Plus, our programs are personalized, and classes are 1:1, while in-person classes are not only expensive but also crowded where kids barely get the attention they need

As a first step, we do a free assessment class for your child and understand their background and strengths and recommend a program.

Next step is Coach Matching. We assign you a coach and if you are unhappy with the experience, we switch the coaches until you are 100% satisfied!

As your child learns and matures, we will invite you to join our free Chess tournaments where he can play other kids of his age/level and improve his game.

5 years is the perfect age to start kids on Chess as the brain is developing, and Chess greatly contributes to helping kids boost their IQ and improve their focus.

Oh and 5 year olds are capable of a lot of things. Don't underestimate them ;)

We offer 100% refund if you don't like the classes after 2 classes, and 50% refund there on.

Yes, we do provide make up classes. Once a class is cancelled, you will automatically get a link to book the makeup class. You can book it right away or save the credit and book it later.

We can not provide make up classes, once your membership has ended.
If you do not cancel the class, and the class has started, we are unable to provide a make up class.

All the classes are 1:1. You may request additional students in the class - we have seen that having another kid helps learn better, and practice with other kids at their level.

All our plans are very flexible and only month to month. We don't require any long term committments at all and we just request a 2 weeks notice for cancellation

We have 2 types of classes. 25 mins and 50 mins. For beginners and younger kids we recommend 25 mins class to start with. For others we *strongly* recommend a 50 mins class.
