Amazing Teacher
โWeโve 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 sonโs very first online class, and I wasnโt sure how well he would stay engaged. To my surprise, he follows Ms. Melissaโs instructions attentively, looks forward to every class, and is always excited to complete his chess homework afterward. Itโs 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.โ
