Chess coach for kids and adults — online and in person
A chess coach is right for both a child just learning the moves and an adult who wants to play more confidently or prepare for a first tournament. Pick a coach yourself — by lesson price, format and client reviews. Or describe the age, level and goal in an order, and coaches will send responses.

How much chess lessons cost
What affects the price
The coach's chess title
A lesson with a FIDE Master or a grandmaster usually costs more than one with a coach who holds a sports rank and teaches beginners.
One-on-one or a small group
A private lesson usually costs more than a small-group class, where the kids also play games against each other.
Online board or home visit
A lesson on a shared online board means no travel, while the coach coming to your home or a class at a chess club has its own price.
Goal and depth of the work
Teaching the rules and basic tactics is one thing; building an opening repertoire and preparing a player for tournaments is work of another level.
Work between lessons
Homework puzzles, analysis of your online games or support at a tournament may be included in the price or paid for separately.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a chess coach
- 1
Title and FIDE rating
Nexperity does not check titles or ranks. FIDE ratings are public: ask the coach for their FIDE ID and look up the profile on the FIDE website.
- 2
A strong player is not always a coach
Playing strong chess yourself is not the same as being able to explain it. Ask which ages and levels the coach works with most often.
- 3
An approach to little ones
Preschoolers are often taught through play: chess stories, games on part of the board, short tasks. Ask how the coach builds a lesson for a child who still finds it hard to sit still for long.
- 4
Analysis of your own games
If you already play in tournaments or online, look for a coach who goes through your games and mistakes, not just general topics.
- 5
The first lesson
It helps when, at the first lesson, the coach assesses your level with a game or puzzles and explains where you will start: tactics, endgames or openings.
What to put in the order
Who will be learning: a child or an adult — and the student's age
Level: starting from scratch, knows how the pieces move, plays online or already has a rank
Goal: playing for fun, competing in a tournament or meeting a rank norm
Format: online or in person, one-on-one or in a small group
How often to have lessons, convenient days and payment per lesson
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
