Inside the class

What a ChessWize session looks like

Tarun's curriculum defines the progression path, while Hrdyansh's coaching pattern shows how each live session turns that plan into guided practice, game analysis, and a parent-visible next step.

  1. 13 min

    Recap last week's homework

    The coach checks what the student practised and where the last assignment created confusion.

  2. 210 min

    Concept of the day

    The lesson follows ChessWize's structured curriculum and adapts to the student's current rating band.

  3. 310 min

    Tactical drill

    The student solves guided positions on Lichess study or Chess.com classroom with coach prompts.

  4. 415 min

    The coach plays at the student's level to expose decision-making habits in real positions.

  5. 55 min

    Game review + key moments

    The coach reviews the most important moves instead of overwhelming the child with every mistake.

  6. 62 min

    Homework + WhatsApp summary

    The student leaves with a clear task, and parents receive a concise WhatsApp progress note.

Parent questions

FAQ

Everything parents ask before enrolling — answered clearly and honestly.

What does each session include?

A typical coaching session includes homework recap, a focused lesson-plan concept, tactical drills, live play, game review, and a short homework assignment. In 1:1 sessions, coaches use Lichess study or Chess.com classroom and send a WhatsApp summary to parents after the class.

How are coaches assigned to my child?

The complimentary 30-min demo helps ChessWize assess your child's current level, learning style, and goals. The assigned coach then stays with the child through the programme, so parents are not dealing with weekly coach rotation.

Can my child switch programmes (e.g., group → 1-on-1)?

Yes. The existing course page explains that children can move between programmes as they grow, and coaches recommend the right time to shift levels or formats. A child can begin in a small group and move to 1:1 when tournament preparation or faster diagnosis becomes important.

What if my child misses a session?

The current course policy says missed classes can be rescheduled within the same week at no extra cost. Families should still coordinate early with the coach so the child's weekly rhythm and homework plan stay on track.

How do I know my child is making progress?

Parents receive a weekly WhatsApp report from the coach covering what was taught, what improved, and what to practise next. For longer-term growth, ChessWize uses a four-phase curriculum from Foundation through Mastery so progress can be discussed against a clear learning path.

What happens after I book the demo?

A coach runs a complimentary 30-minute level check with your child and identifies the right programme format. After the demo, the team recommends the most suitable plan, session frequency, and next step based on the child's current chess level.

Can my child be enrolled in tournaments alongside coaching?

Yes. ChessWize coaches support AICF and tournament preparation on demand, especially in individual and advanced tracks. The coaching work can include opening repertoire, time management, tactical sharpening, and post-game review.

Is there a minimum commitment?

The pricing table is session-package based, with 24, 48, and 96 session options shown on the page. If you need a smaller trial commitment beyond the complimentary demo, there is no minimum commitment beyond the first month. After the complimentary demo, you can choose to enrol month-to-month or in 3-month and 6-month bundles for a small discount — confirmed by the admissions team.

How does the refund policy work?

The site states a refund on unused sessions and positions this as a risk-reversal promise for parents. For exact refund timing, payment method rules, or deductions, Refunds for unused sessions are processed within 5–7 business days back to the original payment method, no questions asked should be confirmed before enrolment.

Are there discounts for siblings or annual prepayment?

Yes. The page lists 10% off for 24 sessions, 15% off for 48 sessions, and 20% off for 96 sessions, and the two-on-one format is designed for siblings or friends learning together. Any additional sibling or annual-prepayment offer beyond those listed discounts would need confirmation: Yes — siblings get a 10% discount on the second child, and annual prepayment unlocks 2 free months. Mention either at booking.

PICK YOUR FORMAT. WE'LL HANDLE THE REST.

Group, two-on-one, or 1:1 — your call after the complimentary demo.

Most parents start with the demo, then switch format if needed. No commitment until session 5.
