Our beginner lessons are expertly led by Mrs. Briscoe, a highly respected educator with over ten years of chess teaching experience garnered at some of the most prestigious private schools across the country. Her established curriculum and engaging approach provide a supportive and inspiring environment, guaranteeing that even absolute beginners quickly gain confidence and a strong foundational understanding of the game.
