1-on-1 Grandmaster Coaching FAQs
How does 1-on-1 coaching differ from your small group cohorts?
In group cohorts (1:4), instruction follows a structured 16 or 24-week syllabus. In 1-on-1 coaching, 100% of the time is devoted exclusively to your child's specific games, weaknesses, upcoming tournament pairings, and personal speed of learning.
Can we mix 1-on-1 coaching with a group cohort?
Yes! Many of our most successful students attend a weekly group cohort for interactive peer sparring and syllabus progression, supplemented by 1-on-1 private sessions for custom opening prep and scoresheet analysis.
How do we book and reschedule private sessions?
You are assigned a dedicated WhatsApp Academic Coordinator who coordinates directly with you and your coach to lock in recurring or flexible weekly slots, and handles any rescheduling with 24-hour advance notice.
Is there a trial class available for private coaching?
Yes, you can schedule a complimentary 30-minute diagnostic session where our master coach evaluates your child's strengths and outlines an individualized 1-on-1 training plan.
