About Us

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. We are ltd company without share capital which means we are a not for profit where any profits are reinvested into improving the tuition we provide.

 

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 5 to 94 across 3 different continents.

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.
