Students have one lesson a week, either
45 minutes or 60 minutes in length.
Each week chess topics are reviewed and new topics are learned and assigned
for the week ahead. Students usually move forward with one or two new
topics each week, though the topics and pace are customized based on the
goals of the student.

current. If student has a schedule conflict, a set of four lessons can
be extended to include a fifth week lesson as long as instructor is told
in advance (no extensions for no-show lesson).
