Story

Why Envision

Why parents and players choose Envision for online chess coaching.

Not a set of loose classes. A published syllabus, a coach who places your child at the right session, and a portal where parents can see every class, score and tournament result.

A real curriculum, not ad-hoc lessons

Five stages, fifteen levels and 240 taught sessions, from the first move through to Masters. Every level is sixteen sessions across two months.

Your child starts at the right level

A free assessment with a coach places them at the exact session to begin from, rather than a generic beginner slot.

Everything in one portal

Live classes, homework, tournaments, coach feedback, progress reports, invoices and payments behind a single login.

Feedback every week

Coaches review submitted homework and answer questions between classes, so nothing waits until the next session.

Competition is built in

Weekly academy tournaments with real pairings, live games, results and leaderboards - not just practice games.

Parents can see all of it

Attendance, assignment scores, tournament results and fee history are visible to parents, not only to the student.

Questions

Questions about our online chess coaching courses.

How the five courses fit together, how long each one takes, and how a student is placed into the right one.

What are the online chess coaching courses at Envision Chess Academy?

Five courses form one ladder: Beginner, Intermediate, Semi-Pro, Pro and Masters. Each is three levels of sixteen live sessions, 240 taught sessions end to end, running from how the pieces move through to pawn structure and theoretical endgames.

Which online chess course should my child start with?

You do not have to choose. Book a free demo class, and the coach assesses the student during that session and recommends the exact course and session number to begin from, so nobody repeats material they already know.

Are these online chess classes available across India?

Yes. Every course runs live online for students anywhere in India and in 15+ other countries, and the same courses run offline at our four Kolkata centres in Bowbazar, Haridevpur, Jodhpur Park and New Alipore.

How long does each online chess course take?

Each course is 48 sessions across three levels of sixteen. At two classes a week a level takes about two months, so a full stage is roughly six months and the complete ladder runs across several years of steady study.

Are the chess classes live or pre-recorded?

Every session is live with a coach in the academy portal. Homework, coach feedback, weekly tournaments and progress reports sit in the same portal, and parents can see all of it.

Do you offer one-to-one online chess coaching as well as group courses?

Yes. Students can be enrolled in a group batch or in one-to-one coaching on the same syllabus. The demo assessment covers which format suits the player.

Not sure where to start?

A coach will tell you which chess course fits.

Book a free demo class. The coach assesses the player and recommends the exact course and session to begin from, whether you want online chess classes at home or offline coaching at a Kolkata centre.
