ABOUT US
Mindful Chess was founded in 2015 with the goal of improving access to chess coaching for children across London. We started off teaching a single group of 12 students once a week. Through schools and parents sharing information about our unique approach, our program has grown to now teach over 500 students a week.
As well as our group lessons, we've recognised how productive 1:1 sessions are for adults and children. We therefore now teach individuals ranging from the age of 4 to 94 across 3 different continents.
What We Can Offer
CHESS COACHING FOR ADULTS
Our highly experienced coaches fast track your progress and improvement. For individuals new to the game we provide the key building blocks to create a solid foundation to your chess. For players looking to improve, we analyse your existing games and help you recognise new opportunities to capitalise on.
WHY CHOOSE MINDFUL CHESS?
