Online Chess Tutors

Perhaps your child has found a passion for chess, but you don't know your Ruy Lopez from your Sicilian Defence. You want to support them, but you’re not sure where to start. Even when you can’t help with the subject yourself, you can still help them find the right person who can. Our Tutor Finder makes it simple. We ask a few questions about your child's current level and what they want to achieve, then we find a tutor who is the right fit. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

From checkmate to confidence: what the right tutor changes

With the right tutor, chess becomes more than just a game. It’s a way for your child to develop focus, practise strategic thinking, and build patience. It’s seeing them learn to think several moves ahead, not just on the board, but in their schoolwork too. The real win isn’t just checkmate. It's the quiet confidence that comes from mastering a new skill, guided by someone who knows how to make complex strategies make sense. These are skills that last long after the game is over.

We find the right chess tutor. You get the peace of mind.

Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child’s goals and playing style. We then recommend a small, personalised shortlist of tutors we believe are the right fit. It’s not a database to search, it's a genuine recommendation. Every tutor we suggest has passed a rigorous selection process — only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted. They’re not just chess experts; they’re skilled at building confidence and making learning enjoyable. And if the first session doesn’t feel quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we’ll find another tutor for you, free of charge.
