New York Scholastic Chess Club is organizing online lessons to New York City chess students. Ivan Dirkx is the founder and also runs these programs. Recently, the program was expanded to online classes for all interested students, and I have been involved from the beginning as a teacher of these 3 levels, 9 classes per week. I have known Ivan since my arrival to New York in 2017 and now work with him 5 days a week, in 3 different New York schools. You can read more about that here.
We have great experience with the use of Zoom, running chess classes with up to 25 students.
