Do you want to see huge improvements in your chess skills?
Just like top athletes rely on coaches to guide them, a chess mentor provides personalised support to help you improve faster. With tailored 1-on-1 lessons, students gain confidence, sharpen their skills, and enjoy the learning process as they progress more quickly.
During the 1-on-1 classes, students receive the teacher's full attention, allowing them to ask questions, share ideas, and receive support tailored to their individual learning needs.
We take a personalised approach to training, adapting lessons to each student's age, skill level, learning style, and unique strengths. As they improve, students are challenged with more advanced lessons to keep the experience fun and engaging.
Lessons are for 60 minutes long and can be adjusted to fit the student's needs. Each lesson is designed to be dynamic, using a variety of resources to keep classes exciting and fun.
Our 1-on-1 classes are perfect for students who benefit from extra attention to build confidence, refine their chess skills, and reach their full potential. We recommend these classes for families who want their child to receive expert mentorship and tailored while progressing at their own pace.
"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."

The 1-on-1 classes are designed for children aged 4 to 13+ who want to learn how to play chess or deepen their understanding of the game, while also improving critical skills such as confidence, patience, and concentration.
Classes vary depending on age, skill level, learning style and unique strengths. Each class may include 1 or more of the following:

Games: This includes mini-games, fun variations and standard games to develop strategic thinking and problem solving skills
Puzzles: Unique and interactive puzzles that challenge students to think critically and improve their decision making
Live Game Analysis: To focus on improving key weaknesses, implement new concepts, and reinforce strong habits for future matches

Students will confidently understand how to play chess and develop a deep knowledge of the game. Their confidence, focus, and patience will improve both on and off the chessboard, helping them perform better in highly competitive matches.
Their problem-solving abilities, strategic thinking skills, and overall chess knowledge will continually improve, making them well-rounded players. As they progress, their growth will accelerate, leading to greater success on the board.
We have weekly tournaments for all Chess Confidence students, no matter your skill level. You'll play against opponents who are better and worse than you, giving everyone a chance to practice and use what they've learned in class. Let the games begin!
