Whether you're a beginner or you want to take your game to the next level,

we have a program that will work for you!

We offer the following types of chess lessons:

Individual chess lessons in person

Individual chess lessons online

Group lessons in a private classroom

Group lessons in school settings

Individual chess instruction

If you're a brand-new player, we meet with you personally and can usually have you playing the game in a very short time. Once you learn the basics, we teach you how to think ahead and see your opponent's plans, so you can form appropriate strategies. You'll learn to spot tactical weaknesses in your opponents' positions and exploit them. We also will give you an overview of tournament rules, as well as how to keep score and study correctly.

If you already know how to play and are looking to improve, we can help you do that, too!

Individual online chess instruction

Online instruction is a great way to learn chess from the comfort of your own home. There are two ways to take an online chess lesson. The first way requires that you have a computer and one of the following: DSL or cable modem or two phone lines (so you and the instructor can be online and on the phone at the same time). If you would like to save $5.00 per lesson and your computer has speakers and a microphone, (available at any Office Depot or Office Max) you can install the free communication software, Skype and we can talk through our computers alleviating the need to make a long distance call.

Group chess instruction in a private classroom

Group instruction is the same as it would be for individuals, except that participants will be combined with others who are at approximately the same playing level or who want to improve in the same area (e.g., openings, middle- or end-game play, tactics, etc.).

Chess instruction in school settings

Chess plays an important role in educational and personal development, and is now offered at schools all over the United States. We have different programs and payment options that allow you to choose the number of lessons and whether the lessons are funded by the school or by the student.
