How online chess classes work
- Step 1
Book a free 30-minute demo. A FIDE-rated coach checks your child's level and answers your questions — no payment to start.
- Step 2
Your child is matched to a small batch (max six) by age and level, or a one-to-one slot, at a fixed weekly time that fits school.
- Step 3
The same coach teaches every week on a live video board, sets practice, and sends you a weekly progress report on WhatsApp.

Choosing online chess classes well
When you compare providers, convert every offer to a per-session cost — monthly headlines hide how many live classes you actually get. Ask about batch size: a room of twelve is cheaper to run than a group of six, and your child feels the difference. Continuity matters too — the same coach each week can track openings, tactics, and temperament; a rotating roster cannot. Read the refund terms before you pay a pack: unused classes should come back if the fit is wrong. Finally, take a real demo first. Sit in, watch how the coach corrects mistakes live, and only then buy a pack.
