Turning Screen Time Into Learning Time

My 5 year old daughter Stefanie loves Chess Confidence lessons.

She is at the beginner level and I didn't expect her to grasp the basics of chess so quickly at such a young age.

David is an amazing teacher. His approach is both fun and educational, making each lesson a delightful experience for my daughter. Thank you David!

What Chess Confidence Is All About:

We help children learn the skills they need to succeed, not just in chess but in life. These skills include confidence, patience, responsibility, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Our main goal is to turn your child’s biggest weaknesses into strengths and help them make real progress in their chess skills.

It’s not just about learning chess, it’s about learning skills for life.

For example, in chess, if you move a piece to a square it can't go to, you need to be honest and admit your mistake.

That teaches honesty, responsibility, and accountability.

At Chess Confidence, we don’t just teach the rules; we teach life lessons that help your child grow and succeed, both in chess and in life.

⚠️Who Are The Classes NOT For?

This is ONLY for families who are 100% committed to helping their child succeed! If you're not ready to take action or if your child isn't ready to learn, this isn't for you.

But if you're ready to invest in your child's growth, focus on long-term success, and be involved every step of the way, then you're exactly who this is for!

What Do Our families And Students think of Chess Confidence?

Simran from ACT

"Since she has started with him she has improved a lot! And I highly recommend David because he is awesome!

He is really kind and he knows how to teach a 6 year old. With all the little, jumping here and there.

He is very nice and if you are looking for your kid to get into chess classes I would recommend that Chess Confidence is the right place to start with!"

Rushika from NSW

"Hi, I'm Rushika, and I'm eight years old. And my teacher is David.

We are learning about chess, and I LOVE it! I normally like learning about the pieces and also answering questions that I know.

And when we normally play games, we know which pieces go to which place so that we can have a better chance of winning."

Jayden from WA

"He teaches me new skills that make me comfortable when playing with higher level competitors!"

Stephanie from QLD

"Once my cousin Jackie came over yesterday and I won him and I was super duper happy. And David he is kind, he is nice, he's patient and that is why I love his games!"

Christopher from NSW

"David taught me new tricks and chess movements! David is so fun and I enjoy his classes. I would like to have more of David's classes! Thank you very much, bye"

Ivan from QLD

"He teaches you skillful moves like how pieces move, how to do checkmate AND EVEN MORE. He is a really kind and generous person and I love his lessons!"

Vihaan from QLD

"I like it. Because it helps me with my critical thinking and understanding in chess... And he teaches me what to do, what is the blunder or wrong thing.

So then I can learn from my mistakes. So it's really good. So when I learn these mistakes, I won't do it again. And I'll maybe succeed that time. So it will always help me in my chess... In the group classes, we learn about the puzzles. The puzzles are more fun. When it gets easier, to harder. And I keep on solving everything. I'm not giving anyone a chance!"
