How PairChess Works

From finding the right coach to levelling up your game — here's exactly how it works.

01

Browse & filter coaches

Search by specialty, FIDE title, hourly rate, and availability. Every listed teacher is verified by our team.

02

Book a trial lesson

Your first lesson is 20% off. Schedule it at a time that suits you & the teacher — lessons are live or over video depending on your needs. After that, you're free to continue outside the platform.

03

Follow your curriculum

Your coach builds a personalised plan. Track puzzles, openings, and game analysis between sessions in your student dashboard.

All levels — from complete beginners to FIDE-rated tournament players. Filter by 'Beginners' or 'Kids & Teens' to find beginner-friendly coaches.

How are lessons conducted?

Lessons happen over video call. Coaches use interactive chess tools so you can analyse positions and follow moves in real time.

Can I change my teacher?

Yes, anytime. There are no long-term commitments. You pay per lesson.
