we’re here to answer
all your questions
This is what we get asked most often.
Is 5 years a good age to start?
Of course, starting at the age of 5 years is a very good move. We have even coached younger learners in our “First Move” program.
What if I cannot attend all sessions?
Although we do recommend attending the live Chess Classes as learning in the group is more effective. But we do understand that sometimes it may be difficult to attend and so we provide the recordings for the sessions for 15 days after the session. You are most welcome to watch them and ask as many questions you may have, your coach will be happy to assist.
Can I take a break during my exams
Taking a break, especially during the examinations, is sometimes essential and we understand that. We would accomodate these requests when discussed in a timely manner.
