Become a chess coach and start taking students through Chess67
Launch a public profile, publish lesson offers, and give parents and players a clear reason to book you instead of scrolling past.
We'll save your display name and base city, then move you straight into coach setup.
A cleaner onboarding path for serious coaches
Start here if you want a polished public presence fast. Once your profile is live, the rest of the teaching workflow stays connected.
Create your public coach profile and basic positioning.
Add lesson offers, pricing, and bookable time slots.
Publish your profile for discovery, then connect payments when you are ready to sell.
Use badges, reviews, and shared lesson boards to build trust and keep students coming back.
Students need more than a bio. They want to see what lessons you offer, what they cost, and reviews from people who have already worked with you.
Start with your name and city. Add pricing, lesson formats, badges, and content once you are inside the coach portal.
A coach page with current lesson offers, real reviews, and open booking times.
What Chess67 helps a coach do
Publish lesson offers, collect reviews and badges, take payments, and teach on shared boards.
Your coach page appears in Chess67's discovery and search, so students can actually find you — instead of relying on a static bio link.
Verification badges, reviews, and richer profile detail help parents and players see that you're credible.
Lesson offers and payments reduce the friction between a student finding you and a student actually booking.
Availability, booking support, and meeting links keep delivery connected after the purchase, and shared lesson boards let you import student games from Chess.com and Lichess.
Show why students should trust you, then teach through the same platform
Chess67 supports badges and reviews on the public side, then availability, bookable time slots, payments, meeting links, and shared lesson boards after the student books.
Background, certification, and titled-player verification help explain why your profile is trustworthy.
Use lesson offers, payment collection, and bookable time slots so students can move from interest to commitment faster.
Meeting links and shared lesson boards keep the teaching side connected after the sale.
Position yourself, then go find students
The coaches who fill their calendars publish clear lesson offers, collect reviews, earn verification badges, and keep students coming back.
Use your profile to define your niche, student level, and outcomes. A clear niche lets the right students find your listing quickly.
Translate your advice into clear lesson offers: openings, tactics, endgame prep, and tournament training. A specific offer is easier to choose than an open-ended hourly rate.
Use profile details, badges, and practical examples so families can trust you before they message. Reviews and verification badges win students over more reliably than a fancy website.
Use regular game reviews and a recurring lesson schedule to show measurable progress and keep students engaged between sessions.
How to find students (online + local)
- Start a recurring local chess club with a beginner onboarding track and invite parents to watch the first session.
- Host monthly mini-tournaments to convert casual players into long-term students.
- Run free thematic workshops (e.g., 'How to beat common opening traps') and offer follow-up lesson plans.
- Partner with schools, libraries, and community centers to run scholastic chess intros.
- Publish short game-review videos and practical lesson recaps to demonstrate your coaching style.
- Create referral incentives for current students and families.
- Use event participation as a funnel: coaching prep before tournaments, review after tournaments.
