Our Students

Real Kids. Real Results

Every one of these students began with a free demo class and a coach matched to their level, goals and schedule.

Viaan, Age 9, MyChessCoach student holding a chess tournament trophy

Viaan

Age 9

California State Champion

Viaan started with a free demo class and could barely finish a game. Two years and one very determined coach later, he took home the California state title — trophy proudly carried into the office the next morning.

Daniel, Age 11, MyChessCoach student holding a chess tournament trophy

Daniel

Age 11

Chess Blue Belt · 2 tournament podiums

Daniel loved fast games but hated slowing down to calculate. His coach built every lesson around endgames, and he earned his Blue Belt while placing top-3 in back-to-back rated events.

Bruce, Age 8, MyChessCoach student holding a chess tournament trophy

Bruce

Age 8

Chess Blue Belt · School team captain

Bruce joined at 6 knowing only how the pawns moved. He now captains his school chess team, keeps his own puzzle notebook, and coaches his younger cousin on weekends.

Anaya, Age 7, MyChessCoach student holding a chess tournament trophy

Anaya

Age 7

First tournament trophy in 6 months

Anaya was the quietest kid in her first class. Her coach turned tactics into stories, and half a year later she won her section at her very first rated tournament.

Mom of Raina (8 yr old)

"We love My Chess Coach (previously My Chess Camp). My 6 year old started to show interest in chess a few months ago, and after searching to find a good class to continue his interest, we found My Chess Camp. It's been an amazing journey so far. My kid loves learning chess and spends quality time practicing his chess skills. We are thoroughly enjoying the unique ways the teacher engages my child while teaching chess online. We highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to start learning / advancing chess skills. Highly Recommend!!"

"The teachers and the teaching style is exceptional. I did not think that my daughter would like these classes but thought of giving it a try and they did not disappoint. Now we are in the Chess Intermediate course and my daughter wants to continue even further!"

Interactive learning

Interactive online lessons — not passive screen time.

Coaches use online chessboards, puzzles and game analysis to explain ideas clearly. Students actively move pieces, solve positions and review games during the lesson.

— Safety & communication

Parent-visible communication by design.

Families and Coaches communicate through the messaging feature on MyChessCoach. Coaches are contractually prohibited from contacting a Student or Family through personal email, telephone, text, WhatsApp, social media or another private channel.

  • No private Coach–child communication
  • Lesson and scheduling messages remain visible to the parent
  • Parents can report a concern directly to MyChessCoach Support

Screening is one part of our safety process. Records available for background screening can vary by country and cannot guarantee future conduct.
