I have been training young children in Chess & English Speaking from the basic level to advance for the last 5 years. My classes are online and my youngest student is 3 1/2 years old. My classes are going to be fun with concept understanding first, then comes puzzles, followed by games. This makes every class exciting for the kids. Join my classes as a basic student and you will leave as an advanced chess player or public speaker.
