Private Chess Lessons - Frequently Asked Questions
Are private lessons better than group lessons?
Private lessons offer distinct advantages:
- Faster Progress: Students typically improve 2-3 times faster compared to group lessons.
- Personalised Approach: We create a customised study plan that identifies your strengths and weaknesses for targeted training.
While group lessons are more affordable and effective, private sessions provide focused, one-to-one attention.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. When you sign up for any of our plans, your card is not charged immediately.
- You receive a 7-day free trial, including a trial lesson.
- If you choose not to continue, simply notify us before the trial ends for a no-charge cancellation.
What days and times are the classes offered?
Our private lessons are available daily. You can choose your preferred time slot through our booking system after signing up.
How often are the classes and how long is each one?
Scheduling is flexible to fit your goals:
- Frequency: Most students attend one class per week for steady progress. For tournaments or quicker results, 2-3 classes weekly can be arranged.
- Duration: Standard lessons are 60 minutes, with options for 90-minute or 2-hour sessions for advanced students.
Can I cancel or reschedule a class?
Yes, cancellations or rescheduling are allowed with at least 24 hours' notice.
Can I learn with a Chess Master on the private lessons plan?
Yes. Our private plans include access to titled players, such as Chess Masters, at no additional cost.
