Online chess classes in Singapore: common questions
Does the India time difference make classes awkward for Singapore?
No. Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India, so weekday after-school slots (3–8 PM SGT) fall at 12:30–5:30 PM IST — comfortably inside our coaching day. Saturday afternoons work as well. You pick a fixed weekly slot in Singapore time.
How does payment work from Singapore?
ChessWize keeps one price list in Indian rupees (from ₹2,500 for 8 classes). Your card is simply charged the equivalent in your local currency at checkout, so there is no separate or inflated overseas rate.
Is there a free trial before we commit?
Yes. You start with a complimentary 30-minute demo and level check, with no card required, and only enrol once you are happy with the coach and the slot.
Will my child get the same coach each week?
Yes. One assigned FIDE-rated coach stays with your child through the programme, following a structured plan rather than rotating teachers week to week.
Can classes work around Singapore’s school terms and CCA schedules?
Yes. Slots are weekly and fixed to your child’s timetable, and you can reschedule around exams, CCAs or holidays.
How are the online classes kept safe?
Sessions are one-to-one or in small groups (six or fewer) with a named, vetted coach and no open chat with strangers. Parents are welcome to watch, and you receive a weekly progress update.
