Consultation
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| 1-1 Consultation (45-60 minutes) | £25 |
Before any student signs up for a programme, we carry out an introductory consultation. This is designed to help us get to know you as a player. Through a detailed discussion, we'll assess your current playing strength, experience, training habits, playing style, thought process, strengths, areas for improvement, and long-term goals.
Where appropriate, we may also review games or complete practical chess exercises to gain a clearer understanding of your current level. Using this information, we'll recommend the coaching programme best suited to you.
