Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our chess programs
How do I know which level is right for my child?
We offer free assessment sessions to evaluate your child's current skill level and recommend the appropriate program. You can also refer to our level comparison chart above for general guidelines.
Can my child skip levels if they progress quickly?
Yes! We regularly assess students' progress and may recommend advancing to the next level if they demonstrate mastery of the current level's concepts. Our goal is to keep each student appropriately challenged.
What's the student-to-teacher ratio in each program?
Our Beginner and Advanced Beginner programs have a maximum 8:1 ratio. Intermediate and Expert levels have 6:1. The FIDE program offers both small group (4:1) and private 1-on-1 sessions.
Do you offer trial classes?
We offer one free trial class for any program. This helps both you and your child experience our teaching style before committing.
What chess materials are included in the program fees?
All students receive our exclusive workbooks, access to our online training portal, and tournament preparation materials. FIDE program students also receive personalized game analysis and opening repertoires.
