Kids spend lots of time on screens. Turn that time into learning with chess to help them grow smart, more focused, and more confident! The earlier they start, the better.
Chess teaches skills they’ll use for life. Don’t miss this chance to help your child grow and succeed. Chess Confidence turns screen time into learning time!

We help children learn the skills they need to succeed, not just in chess but in life. These skills include confidence, patience, responsibility, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Our main goal is to turn your child’s biggest weaknesses into strengths and help them make real progress in their chess skills.
It’s not just about learning chess, it’s about learning skills for life.
For example, in chess, if you move a piece to a square it can't go to, you need to be honest and admit your mistake.
That teaches honesty, responsibility, and accountability.
At Chess Confidence, we don’t just teach the rules; we teach life lessons that help your child grow and succeed, both in chess and in life.

"Since she has started with him she has improved a lot! And I highly recommend David because he is awesome!
He is really kind and he knows how to teach a 6 year old. With all the little, jumping here and there.
He is very nice and if you are looking for your kid to get into chess classes I would recommend that Chess Confidence is the right place to start with!"
"Hi, I'm Rushika, and I'm eight years old. And my teacher is David.
We are learning about chess, and I LOVE it! I normally like learning about the pieces and also answering questions that I know.
And when we normally play games, we know which pieces go to which place so that we can have a better chance of winning."
"He teaches me new skills that make me comfortable when playing with higher level competitors!"
"Once my cousin Jackie came over yesterday and I won him and I was super duper happy. And David he is kind, he is nice, he's patient and that is why I love his games!"
"David taught me new tricks and chess movements! David is so fun and I enjoy his classes. I would like to have more of David's classes! Thank you very much, bye"
"He teaches you skillful moves like how pieces move, how to do checkmate AND EVEN MORE. He is a really kind and generous person and I love his lessons!"
"I like it. Because it helps me with my critical thinking and understanding in chess... And he teaches me what to do, what is the blunder or wrong thing.
So then I can learn from my mistakes. So it's really good. So when I learn these mistakes, I won't do it again. And I'll maybe succeed that time. So it will always help me in my chess... In the group classes, we learn about the puzzles. The puzzles are more fun. When it gets easier, to harder. And I keep on solving everything. I'm not giving anyone a chance!"
