About Elvyn Chess
An online chess academy that shows its work.
Most online chess classes hand your child to an anonymous tutor. Elvyn was built the opposite way: rated coaches, a written plan per student, and progress parents can actually see.
- What we do
- Live online chess coaching for kids from age 6, teens and adults — plus Future Builders, an AI and product-building course for kids.
- Who teaches
- FIDE-rated and national-level players. Every student gets a coach, not a rotating tutor.
- How it works
- A written plan built from your child's own games, updated monthly. Parents can sit in on any class. Homework and progress live in the Elvyn app.
- The free trial
- One full 60-minute live class on Zoom or Google Meet. No credit card, no obligation. You leave with a level assessment and a written plan.
- Where our students are
- Classrooms in 10+ countries, including India, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and more.
- Formats
- 1-on-1 coaching, small group classes (4–6 students matched by level), a sibling plan, and tournament preparation for FIDE-rated events.
