Yes, all our classes are live online classes.

All our chess teachers are experienced and accomplished professionals with a passion for teaching. They've been working in their respective fields for a minimum of 5+ years.

All our teachers go thru a very stringent selection process. After we've shortlisted their profile, they go thru a technical evaluation. Post this, they go thru a general evaluation where we check their communication, attitude, patience, and other qualities we consider essential for a mentor and teacher. Once they clear this round, they have to give our team a demo on a topic of their choice. Post this, our team does an onboarding training for them. Then, they sit thru couple of live classes being conducted by our other mentors. This whole process takes about 2-3 weeks and then new mentors get assigned.

Kids feel motivated when they earn badges, certificates and build stuff. We recognize this and hence we have a reward system which kids love. They get badges and certificates when they reach certain levels. At any point, they know how far they are from earning next level of certificate. They also know where they stand on the leaderboard. Rest assured, kids will be always striving to get the next badge and certificate.

Our classes are typically conducted in small groups of 3-5 students.

Yes, all the classes are followed by small assignments to reinforce what was taught in the class. Students also work on projects after every 8-10 classes.
