Live 1-on-1 with expert tutors Weekly progress reports A real curriculum, not one-off classes

Learning that goes somewhere

Most kids’ classes are one-off drop-ins or app-based drills. Here’s what we do differently.

Real tutors, not an app

Vetted chess and music experts who spot what your child is missing — something an app can never do.

A curriculum, not one-off classes

Every session builds on the last. Switch tutors and the next one picks up where the last left off.

Progress you can read at a glance

After every class, a short update: what your child worked on, what they mastered, what’s next.

The curriculum

What the journey looks like

Your child follows a clear path — not a random sequence of lessons.

  1. 1

    Foundation

    Piece movement, capturing, check and checkmate. Your child plays their first complete games with confidence.

    You’ll see: your child finishing games without help.
  2. 2

    Fluency

    Tactics — pins, forks, skewers. Recognising patterns. Solving 2- and 3-move puzzles.

    You’ll see: your child spotting tactics in their own games.
  3. 3

    Strategy

    Openings, positional ideas, endgame technique. Learning to plan several moves ahead.

    You’ll see: your child explaining their choices out loud.
  4. 4

    Independence

    Tournament-ready play. Self-analysis of games. Studying openings and endgames on their own.

    You’ll see: your child playing their first tournament.

Your child starts wherever they are — we assess in the free demo.

Progress you can see

Actually see how your child is progressing.

Every parent asks the same question after tutoring: is my kid actually getting better? We answer that every single week.

  • Short tutor notes after every session — what worked, what needs practice

Questions parents ask

How do you assess my child’s starting level?

In the free demo, your tutor plays a short game or does a short exercise with your child. This tells us where they are and where in the curriculum to start.

What if my child is already advanced?

The curriculum starts wherever your child is. If they’ve played chess for a year or already read music, we skip ahead — no wasted lessons.

Can we switch tutors?

Yes, any time. Because the curriculum is shared, the next tutor picks up right where the last one left off.

What if my child loses interest?

Cancel any time. We also work with you to keep classes engaging — that’s our job, not yours.

How is this different from Chess.com Kids or a music app?

Apps are great for drills and games. But a real tutor notices what your child is missing, adjusts the plan, and celebrates real progress. Apps can’t do that.

What ages is this for?

Kids ages 6 to 14. Chess and music both scale well within that range.

What does the free demo include?

A 30-minute 1-on-1 class with an expert tutor. You’ll see how they teach, and get a quick note on where your child is starting from.

What does it cost?

Regular lessons start at $15 for a 60-minute 1-on-1 session. No signup fees, no long-term commitment — pay per session or buy a package.
