Parent Questions

Before You Book a Free Demo

Quick answers to what parents ask us most about our online chess classes.

What is the age range for students?

Group classes start at age 5, and one-to-one coaching can start at age 4. We teach children up to 15 years of age.

Are there any prerequisites for enrolling?

No prerequisites are required; we offer classes for all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced players.

How do you decide which level is right for my child?

Every child can start with a free demo class, where a coach sees how they play and gives you an honest read on their current level. The coach then recommends the right level on our six-level learning path, from Beginner to FIDE-Rated Preparation. When registering, you can also choose “Not sure — please recommend” and our team will suggest one.

How can I book a free demo class?

Use any “Book a Free Demo Class” button on this site and share your child’s details with a preferred day and time. The demo is a free 30-minute online class with no payment needed, and we confirm the time with you first.

What happens after the demo class?

The coach recommends a suitable course for your child, and there is no obligation to enroll. If you decide to join, you can register online; our team then finds a suitable batch and contacts you with timing and next steps.
