About "Chess Academy Singapore"
Chess Academy Singapore is an enrichment class provider operating islandwide from its centre at 865 Mountbatten Road, Katong Shopping Centre. The academy is KakiList verified and ACRA registered. It holds a Google rating of 3.8 out of 5, though this is drawn from only 14 reviews and should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range tier ($$), though specific session fees are not publicly listed.
Parents and students looking to enquire should first confirm whether the academy's current offerings match the student's level and learning objectives — whether that is foundational chess for younger children, competitive preparation, or intermediate club-level play. It is worth asking about group class sizes versus one-to-one coaching, term commitment expectations, and whether classes are conducted in person at Mountbatten Road or available online. A trial class or introductory session is the recommended first step to assess teaching style, pace, and level appropriateness before committing to a term.
To get started, reach out to Chess Academy Singapore via WhatsApp, phone, or their enquiry form to ask about current class schedules, available levels, and trial class arrangements at the Mountbatten Road centre.

Store is supposed to be open till 8pm. I went down to make a purchase at 4pm & the store was closed. Called the store hotline & the guy said the employee just decided to close early. Wasted my time. Buy your chess necessities elsewhere.

The place is small, serving as a training and club, and while the variety of goods is limited, the brands are all world-class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Chess Academy Singapore" charge per session?›

In the Singapore enrichment market, chess classes typically range from S$30–60 per session for group classes and S$80–150 or more for one-to-one coaching, with term packages often offered at a slight discount compared to drop-in rates. It is worth asking about trial class fees, any materials or equipment costs (such as chess sets), and whether sibling or multi-term discounts apply. Some academies charge a one-off registration fee on top of course fees. See the full Enrichment Classes cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
A trial class is the most reliable way to assess whether Chess Academy Singapore is the right fit before signing up for a full term. During a trial, observe whether the teaching pace matches your child's current level, whether the coach engages students actively, and whether the class size allows sufficient individual attention. Contact the academy directly via WhatsApp or phone to ask about trial class availability, cost, and format — some providers offer a subsidised or free first session, while others charge the standard session rate. It is also useful to ask how the trial class is structured differently from a regular term class, if at all.
What are the tutors' credentials at "Chess Academy Singapore"?›
Specific tutor credentials are not listed in the publicly available information for Chess Academy Singapore. For a chess enrichment provider, relevant credentials to ask about include national or FIDE ratings, competitive playing experience, years of coaching experience, and any formal coaching certifications recognised by the Singapore Chess Federation or FIDE. It is also worth asking whether coaches have experience preparing students for specific competitions or graded assessments, and whether teaching methods are tailored to different age groups. Contact Chess Academy Singapore directly to ask for the background of the coach who would be assigned to your child's class.
