Talented and passionate coaches who really care about each individual student. I've been enormously impressed with the fun and exciting 1-on-1 lessons that have helped my son grow in his love and skill for chess!
Parent
We discovered SMCA during lockdown and it has been a great experience for our nine year old son. We have had some very good instructors who are totally hands on and child friendly. They ensure that every child is kept engaged and interested throughout the class though it’s a group class. There is a sincere effort on the part of the coaches to keep the child in the game.
Parent
My daughter has been learning Chess with SMCA for a few months now. She has picked it up really well. The coach explains the concepts to kids very patiently. SMCA has a good methodology for training kids. Their tournaments are also quite competitive. All in all a great academy to master the game. Thanks!
