Can classes fit around a full CCA and enrichment schedule?

Yes, that is the most common constraint we work with. Weekday slots run from 5:00 pm SGT and the weekend is wide open. Most families settle on one weekday class plus weekend practice.

How do you assess my child's level?

In the free demo the coach plays and talks through a few positions, watches how your child reasons, and then tells you which curriculum stage fits and why. No test paper, no grading pressure.

Do you run holiday intensives?

We can schedule a denser block during school holidays. Ask your coach and they will propose a plan rather than simply adding more classes.

Is a physical chess set needed?

It helps but is not required. A laptop or tablet with a stable connection and headphones is enough; a physical board is useful for practising away from a screen.

Online chess lessons for children in Singapore

Singapore parents tend to be precise about what they want, and we like that. The usual brief is: a real syllabus, honest feedback on where the child actually stands, and a schedule that survives a week already full of CCAs and enrichment. Classes are live, in SGT, and start with a free demo including a level assessment.

What is different about teaching families in Singapore

Designed around CCA weeks

If your child's CCA rotates, we set a slot that survives the rotation rather than one you have to renegotiate every term. Rescheduling with reasonable notice is normal, not a favour.

Honest placement, not flattery

The demo includes a real assessment. If your child is at beginner level despite two years of casual play, we will say so and start where the gaps actually are.

Priced in Singapore dollars

The SGD price below is set for this market, per live class, so it can be compared directly against local enrichment rates.

Tournament and school-team preparation

For children aiming at inter-school events, coaching covers clock handling, notation, and preparation routines alongside the curriculum.

Local pricing

Prices below are per live class in SGD, set for the Singapore market. We do not convert a dollar price at a floating exchange rate.
