What’s included

Class Experience

This is not a live course. This is a FLEX COURSE.
The classes are prerecorded and can be taken at whatever time works best for you and your children.

This course is designed to teach learners the fundamentals of chess.
There is no prior experience required as the course is designed for beginners.
My teaching style is to break down the fundamentals of chess in ways that are fun and easy to understand.

Learners will watch pre-recorded lessons.  They are usually about 30 minutes in length.  
Learners will receive a new video every week. Each video will cover topics that will teach learners core fundamentals of chess as well as strengthen any skills they already possess. Do not rush through the lessons. Each video covers several topics and each lesson builds upon the previous lessons. The more they practice and apply what they learn, the stronger their chess skills will be.

Once the learner completes the lesson, I would recommend that they apply what they learned using a real chess board and/or playing chess online (via chess.com, chess kids, etc...).

Here are the topics we'll cover each week: 

Week 1: Piece Movement, Capturing and Special Moves
Week 2: Defending Pieces, Check, Checkmate, Avoiding Check & Stalemate.
Week 3: Key Principles: King Safety, Control The Center, Piece Development & "Everyone Needs A Job".
Week 4: The Marketplace: Piece Value & Trading

In the event that a learner or their parental guardian has any questions, they can send me a message via Outschool and I will respond back within 24 hours.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
I will be using the chess.com platform to pre record lessons. This will be done using the screen share feature on zoom. Learners are not required to use chess.com as they can use a physical chess board or any chess app that their parental guardian feels is appropriate in order to follow along with the lesson. Chess.com or chesskid.com are recommended however. Parental guardians can set up an account for their children if they would like. Both of these platforms are FREE!
