A group chess lesson brings together a few players of similar level around the same programme. We work on common themes (openings, plans, endgames) with group exercises, commented mini-tournaments and shared analysis.
The format is more affordable than private lessons and fosters healthy competition, while keeping quality follow-up thanks to the small numbers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are the groups formed?
By level, so everyone progresses at the right pace. A short initial chat lets me place you in the group that matches your Elo.
How many participants per group?
From 3 to 6 players, to keep individual follow-up while enjoying the benefits of group learning.
Can you join a group during the year?
Yes, depending on availability and level fit. Get in touch to find out which groups are open.
Does the group lesson replace private lessons?
They are two complementary formats. The group is ideal for competition and cost; private lessons give fully personalised follow-up. Some students combine both.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No, equipment is provided on site. Just bring something to take notes with if you like.
