Not Just a Chess Lesson.
A Personal Learning Journey.

A Personal Chess Assessment

Every child begins with an individual assessment conducted by Mr. C. We evaluate chess knowledge, concentration, problem-solving, board vision, and the ability to think independently. From this assessment, we create a personalized learning plan designed around the child's strengths, needs, and goals.

A Private Student Learning Record

Each child receives an individual learning record in Mr. C's Chess Laboratory. This helps us organize lessons, record progress, save important chess positions, assign homework, and identify areas needing improvement. Parents can receive updates about what their child is learning.

Student records are private, not public. Student and parent access to additional features will be introduced as they become available.

Direct Access to Mr. C

Your child works directly with National Chess Master Ernest Colding during scheduled private lessons. Mr. C teaches students to explain their decisions, recognize mistakes, and discover stronger moves. Every lesson is a conversation designed to develop independent thinking—not simply a demonstration of chess moves.

Books & Exclusive Online Activities

Students receive access to selected Chess for Children educational materials and age-appropriate interactive activities. These include checkmate exercises, chessboard vision training, tactical puzzles, annotated games, and practice assignments. Activities are selected to reinforce each student's individual lessons.

Resources are assigned according to each student's level and current availability.
