Kids from age 6, teens, and adults. Most of our students are 6–16; our adult program runs separately with its own coaches and plans.
It's the most common starting point. The trial class doubles as a friendly first lesson — your coach starts from the rules if needed and builds from there.
A live 60-minute class with a real coach on Zoom or Google Meet. The coach plays with your child, assesses their level, and you get a written plan afterward. No credit card required, and parents are welcome to sit in.
Live over Zoom or Google Meet, with games and puzzles on Chess.com or Lichess. Your weekly schedule, class links, and assignments all live in the Elvyn app.
Every class is a scheduled, live session with a vetted coach — visible on your schedule, and parents are free to observe any class.
Yes — up to 24 hours before class, free of charge.
