1-1 lesson with Pros

Play a teaching game with your teacher, or bring one of your own games for review. Work through the key moments and explore better moves together.

Ask a question before you book. No payment needed to chat.

Arrange a teaching game

  1. Ask your teacher for a game

    Share your rank and say you’d like a teaching game. Discuss the handicap and what you want to work on. Write in your own language—messages are translated.

  2. Book a time to play

    Check the teacher’s lesson options and prices, then request a time for your teaching game. You pay after the teacher accepts.

  3. Play, then review together

    Play against your teacher on the shared board, then revisit the key moments and try other moves. Follow their explanation with translated captions.

The translations were really smooth. It's wonderful to connect with people around the world over this deep, ancient game — without the language barrier.

Before your first lesson

Can I talk to a teacher before booking?

Yes. Choose “Chat with a teacher” on their card to ask about your level or goals. Chat is free; you’ll sign in and verify your email to send.

When do I pay, and can I try one lesson?

Browse teachers and prices freely. You only pay after a teacher accepts your request.

Some teachers offer a lower price for your first lesson — a low-stakes way to try one before committing.

Do we need to speak the same language?

No. Chat messages are translated, and live translated captions help you follow your teacher during lessons. If you prefer listening to reading, turn on text-to-speech (TTS) to hear the translations during your lesson.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel 24 hours ahead and your fee returns as account credit for a future lesson. (Inside 24 hours, the fee is kept.)
