Frequently asked questions

The role of the teacher in Chessity is primarily a coaching role. Students go through the lessons independently and at their own pace. The method adapts in various ways to the level and learning style of the student. This happens 'under the hood', allowing the student to focus on practicing, while gradually learning better and faster.

As a teacher, you can track your students' progress in a student tracking system. This also gives you insight into how the performance of individual students can be improved.

In a traditional classroom instruction model, the teacher explains, for example, the knight's move or the double attack to the whole group. Then all students work on exercises and practice. The teacher reviews the exercises and provides individual or class-wide feedback and additional explanations if necessary.

In a Chessity lesson, students encounter lessons on the knight's move and double attack at their own time. They complete the exercises. If they make mistakes, they receive immediate feedback from the program. The teacher can see in the student tracking system which children are struggling with the knight's move or the double attack. While other children continue with their lessons, the teacher can bring these children together to provide extra explanations or advise them to first achieve a third star on the respective lesson or - in the case of the knight's move - play the game Jumping Jack for extra practice.

As a coaching teacher, you guide your students on their own learning path. Learning chess has truly become personalized.
