Online chess for children
First, children love the game.
First, children love the game.
Then, they grow with it.
The board is just a tool. What I'm really teaching is how to think.
Chess is a game of thinking
There's a moment in every lesson when something shifts – it isn't about a rule or a tactic, it's the moment a child realises they can figure things out for themselves.
Every child arrives differently and I start from there.
The board becomes a world they actually want to explore.
Mistakes are part of the lesson.
Over five years, I've watched children walk in anxious and walk out proud. Some won their first tournament, some simply stopped saying "I can't."
We turn every puzzle into a question worth asking.
From "I'm not sure" to "I've got this."
Every loss is just the next game starting.
Every student finishes with something to show for it.
We play, we watch legends, every lesson is different.
Real games and training positions.
Positions that make you think, not guess.
We explore news, history, the players who shaped it.
Your child picks a word, we turn it into a chess story with AI. The knight lives in a forest, the queen goes on a mission.
We talk, we play, we think.
Come and see if chess clicks for your child.

You are the best teacher in the world he has ever met.
You are her teacher of fear — you teach her not to be afraid.
I'm impressed. Nina played almost a full game and followed the board the whole time.
He used to give up after losing one piece. Now he just thinks and keeps playing.
Not sure where your child fits? The first lesson is free, we'll figure it out.
They've never played, or played once and stopped. We start with how pieces move and why the game is beautiful.
They know the rules and have played a few games. Now we learn to actually think — tactics, patterns, why one move is stronger than another.
They play, they lose, they want to know why. We work on openings, endgames, positions, and their personal game's style.
I believe chess can change how a child thinks, significantly.
Ten years with children, Montessori training, and one consistent observation: the kids who learn to sit with a hard position at the board carry that patience everywhere else. Book free trialAge 5 and up. There is a trial lesson for you to check if a child ready for online education.
We play a short game, it lets me see how your child thinks and where they are. Then I'll explain which course fits best.
Yes. I assess their level and we start from there. No need to wait for a new term.
It depends on the child. Some thrive on social energy, others need quiet focus. I can usually tell after the trial.
Whichever one your child thinks in. Most families choose their home language.
45 minutes for 1-on-1, 60 for groups. Which one is better usually depends on child's personallity.
Just a computer or iPad, Zoom, and a browser, if you have a physical board at home, great, we can use it, also.
Just message me and we'll reschedule.
Every month I send a short update — what we're working on, where your child is growing.
For example, they'll start explaining their decisions, catching their own mistakes, and staying focused longer.
Optional. After a few lessons I'll suggest a chess site to practice on.
We'll see where your child is and find the course that fits.
