Inside the academy

Your child spends hours a day on a screen, and there's nothing productive to swap it for.

You've looked at tutors and after-school classes, but you can't tell a serious academy from babysitting with a board. Coaches appear and disappear. And the quiet worry stays: is my child actually building skills that matter?

Chess is the rare screen-free activity that makes a child sharper, calmer and more confident, without ever feeling like school.

A random tutor just teaches moves. We give your child something a tutor can't: a real coach, matched to them, working from a plan built around exactly where they are.

True 1-on-1 coaching

Full attention, a plan built for your child, faster visible progress.

Titled FIDE coaches

Credentialed players and trainers, not weekend hobbyists.

A clear level pathway

Your child always knows the next milestone to reach.

Coaching in your language

English, Farsi, Russian, or Filipino.

Built Around Your Child

No two children start in the same place, so no two children follow the same plan.

Before anything else, we sit down with your child and work out exactly where they are: what they already know, how they think, and where they'll grow fastest. From there, we match them with the coach who fits them best, by level, by language, and by teaching style.

Then every session is theirs. The lessons, the drills, the pace, and the challenges are all built around your child and the level they're at, and they move up as they're ready. It's coaching that meets your child where they are, not a fixed syllabus they have to keep up with.

You watch a titled coach work with your child first-hand. We find their exact level, match them with the right coach, and map out the plan that fits them. From there, you decide, with nothing to pay to find out whether it's right for your child.

Our promise: if your child isn't engaged in the first two weeks, we adjust the plan and the coach until it's the right fit.
