Because even though Chess is a solo game, the best players love learning with other kids just as passionate as themself.
That’s why we run small group classes with only 3–5 students. This way, everyone can ask questions and share their ideas easily.
We place students in classes that match their age and skill level. As they improve, they move into more advanced classes to keep learning exciting and challenging.
In each class, the first half is focused on learning something new, and the second half is for fun. Whether that's puzzles, mini-games, and or other fun activities.
Our classes are great for both quiet and energetic kids. They can build confidence, make friends, and grow their social skills while playing a game they love.

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!"
