We try to make our online chess program as close to teaching in-person as possible. Pacific Chess Academy virtual classes are interactive, fun and instructional; teachers and students communicate with each other the same way they dowhile teaching at schools. The real-time big chess board allows high quality presentation of various themes; kids can make moves, play against each other, challenge the coach, solve puzzles and play tournament games! They receive assignments to practice at home, and can review all their games to improve playing skills!
MAIN FEATURES OF OUR ONLINE LESSONS:
