“We’ve had a wonderful experience with 64 Square Chess Academy! Ms. Melissa has been fantastic with my soon-to-be 6-year-old. She makes every lesson fun, engaging, and encouraging, creating an environment where my son genuinely enjoy learning. This was my son’s very first online class, and I wasn’t sure how well he would stay engaged. To my surprise, he follows Ms. Melissa’s instructions attentively, looks forward to every class, and is always excited to complete his chess homework afterward. It’s been amazing to see his enthusiasm and growing confidence. I highly recommend 64 Square Chess Academy to any parent looking for a positive and effective way to introduce their child to chess.”
