Online chess classes for kids in Canada
A structured chess course with a live coach, twice a week, in English, Telugu or Hindi. We teach from India; your child joins from home in any province.
Children in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and anywhere else in Canada can join the same batches as children in India, on Microsoft Teams. Weekend mornings in Canada are evening in India, which is when the two timetables meet most easily.
Prices are shown in US dollars outside India, and class times are shown in your own time zone.

Canadian time against India time
India does not change its clocks, so the gap moves by one hour when daylight saving starts and ends.
| Your time | The coach's time |
|---|---|
| 9:00 am Eastern (Toronto, Ottawa) | 6:30 pm in India in summer, 7:30 pm in winter |
| 9:00 am Mountain (Calgary, Edmonton) | 8:30 pm in India in summer, 9:30 pm in winter |
| 8:00 am Pacific (Vancouver) | 8:30 pm in India in summer, 9:30 pm in winter |
These are examples of how the clocks compare, not a timetable. On the demo booking page every time is already shown in your own time zone.
