We Believe Chess is a Tool for Life.
Our mission is to use the game of chess to teach critical thinking, resilience, and focus, helping children build the confidence they need to succeed in all areas of life.
Our Story
Founded in 2018 by a team of passionate educators and chess professionals, MindMentorz started with a simple idea: chess classes for kids could be more than just learning rules. They could be transformative.
We saw an opportunity to create a program that was not only fun and engaging but also intentionally designed to build core life skills. We wanted to move beyond rote memorization and teach students *how* to think, not just what moves to make.
Today, we've had the privilege of teaching thousands of students from all over the world, both online and in-person. Every "checkmate" and every "aha!" moment fuels our passion to keep growing.
Our Teaching Philosophy
It's not just about winning. It's about a new way of thinking.
Fun & Engagement First
We use storytelling, puzzles, and interactive games to make learning exciting. If kids are having fun, they learn faster and retain more.
Personalized Pathways
Every child learns differently. We assess each student's unique style and pace to place them in the perfect group or 1-on-1 program.
Skills Beyond the Board
Our coaches connect every chess lesson back to real-world skills: how to handle mistakes, how to plan a project, or how to focus on homework.
