Private coaching
Private Coaching
Private coaching the most effective and time efficient option if you want to develop and improve your chess skills.
One-on-one lessons allow the student to ask many questions and learn new techniques and methods at his or her own pace. It also allows the teacher to tailor the curriculum to the individual student.
Key aspects of our lessons

use our coaches’ strengths to optimise the learning time you have with them.
The consultation will include the following:
