Private Chess Lessons
At Strategic Minds Chess Academy, we offer personalized one-on-one instruction designed to help every player reach their full potential. Lesson rates vary based on the student’s experience level and the degree to which lessons and materials must be customized to individual goals and learning styles.
Our MasterClass-level coaching is typically offered at a rate between $50 and $70 per hour, reflecting the expertise and preparation our coaches bring to each session. Whether you’re new to chess or refining advanced tournament skills, your coach will design a structured plan that fits your pace and ambitions.
We recommend starting with a free 60-minute consultation with a Strategic Minds Coach to discuss your goals, current level, and the best path forward for your chess growth.
