The Right Chess Tutor, Chosen For Your Child
You do not need to become an expert in tutoring to find the right person for your child. Simply share a few details about what they need, and we will carefully match them with a small number of chess tutors who truly fit. These are experienced educators, chosen for their ability to build confidence and clearly explain complex strategies.
All sessions happen online in our interactive classroom, so your child can learn from home, whenever suits your family. This opens up access to the best chess tutors from across the UK, not just those who happen to live nearby. If the first tutor is not quite the right fit, we will rematch them and cover the cost of that initial session.

Oliver B
Excellent chess tutor!
My son has been having online chess tutorials with Oliver and I can’t believe how much he has learned and improved in just a few lessons. I wasn’t sure how well my 10 year old would be able to concentrate with online chess but he is transfixed for an hour and wants more lessons straight away.
Oliver is patient and supportive. He gets the right balance of teaching and making the lessons fun. He is also able to adapt and accommodate for children with any additional learning needs. I’d highly recommend him as a chess tutor!
