Question 1

HOW MANY KIDS ARE IN EACH CLASS?

Accepted Answer

From research and our personal experience, we understand children learn new concepts better in groups rather than in individual sessions. Groups allow kids to learn from each other and provide opportunities to socialize and build friendships.
The size per class will vary, and the Sales coordinator will give you the details once the trial class is over and are interested in enrolling.

Question 2

HOW LONG WILL MY CHILD HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR ACCOUNT AND CONTACT THE COACH FOR SUPPORT?

Accepted Answer

As long as your subscription is up to date, you will always have access to the classes and the Coach. The Coach will share the class schedule and relevant information on how to reach him/her for questions with you.

Question 3

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS NO PRIOR EXPOSURE TO CHESS?

Accepted Answer

The trial class is designed to help the Coach determine your child’s skill level, learning style, and level of interest. If the Coach determines that your child is a beginner, then he/she will be placed in an appropriate class.

Question 4

WHY AM I SEEING CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS IN MY CHILD’S CLASS?

Accepted Answer

At Premier Chess Academy, we organize classes not based on age but based on the level of understanding. We assign classes and group kids according to the Coach’s evaluation during the trial classes. We have three main levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro.

Question 5

WILL MY CHILD RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE UPON COMPLETION OF A LEVEL?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Coach will administer an assessment test to gauge understanding concepts before promoting your child to the next level. Upon qualification, your child will earn a Premier Chess Academy, USA certification that will be sent to your email.

Question 6

HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE CLASS DETAILS AND UPCOMING PRACTICE/TOURNAMENTS?

Once you are enrolled in a class, we will assign you to a WhatsApp group which is strictly used for communicating class matters, practice sessions, assignments, etc.

Question 7

HOW IS THE CURRICULUM STRUCTURED AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY KIDS TO GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the kids. We don’t push kids to move levels but rather look at their passion and support them so they can excel in Chess. However, we have put in a tentative duration of the course.

Question 8

WHAT ARE THE FEES AND CAN I GET A DISCOUNT?

Accepted Answer

Our fees are based on your kids’ entry level (beginner, intermediate, or Grandmaster) and your residence country. We will arrange a trial class for you. After the trial class, based on Coach’s evaluation we will put your kid into the respective level & communicate to you the fees and any other relevant information.
Sibling Discount: We offer a sibling discount of 10-15%, depending on the country. Only applicable for group classess of 5 kids. Not for 1:1 or custom  groups.
