Rush Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Do you know any good online chess programmes for primary school kids? Google offers too many schools... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We really like ChessKid. If you become a gold member (which is half price ($25) if you buy through homeschool buyers co-op), there are loads of excellent instructional videos to watch, puzzles to solve, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS is currently using ChessKid and wants to move to a more structural/professional online programme/classes/individual lessons. By any chance do you know anything decent in that level?

JenneinCA Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 There is the iPad app called Chessimo. I find it to be useful, but I don't know if it will work for you or your son. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerileanne99 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Daniel Velotti, who was a nationally-ranked chess player and the father/coach of Luke Velotti (I think is currently top-ranked under 14) has a really neat chess school/franchises out west where I am from. We came across it when I was home visiting. He offers lessons, camps, all sorts of fun things for kids, with his primary focus young kids. The lessons can be via Skype and online group/individual lessons. My kiddo is going to do a camp there this summer on holiday and Skype lessons:) http://www.danielvellotti.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
