Why Chess for Children?

Chess is one of the most powerful educational tools available to children. Research consistently shows that regular chess practice improves academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading. Beyond academics, chess teaches children how to think strategically, manage emotions, and persist through challenges — qualities that shape confident, capable young people.

Children who learn chess develop stronger concentration, better memory, and improved problem-solving skills. It also offers a unique social experience — a shared language that connects children across cultures and backgrounds.

Our Tutors

We take tutor quality seriously. Every Chessed.me tutor is individually screened for chess expertise, teaching experience with children, and long-term commitment to their students. Our tutors are available during peak UK family hours — weekday afternoons and evenings, and throughout weekends — ensuring lessons fit naturally into family routines.

We look for tutors who genuinely love working with children, not just chess players who teach on the side. This distinction makes a significant difference to how children experience their lessons — and how quickly they progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is online chess tutoring effective for young children?

Yes. Online 1-to-1 chess lessons are highly effective for children, often more so than group classes. The personalised format means the tutor can adapt entirely to the child’s pace, focus on their specific weaknesses, and build a strong rapport — all of which accelerate progress.

What age can children start chess lessons?

We welcome children from age 5. Our tutors are experienced in introducing chess to complete beginners in an engaging, age-appropriate way. No prior knowledge is needed to start.

How do Chessed.me lessons work?

Lessons take place live via video call between your child and their dedicated tutor. Sessions are typically 30 or 60 minutes, scheduled at a regular time each week to build consistency and routine.

What makes Chessed.me different from other chess tutoring services?

Chessed.me focuses exclusively on children. Our tutors are selected not only for their chess ability but for their genuine enthusiasm for teaching young learners. We also prioritise consistency — children work with the same tutor every week, which builds trust and accelerates development.

Where is Chessed.me based and who can use it?

Chessed.me is based in London and serves families across the entire United Kingdom. Because lessons are fully online, location is no barrier — families in rural areas, smaller cities, and urban centres all have equal access to high-quality chess education.
