We have been offering Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4 online for 3 years now. Parents often told us that their child is not able to catch up on Step 2. They need more help, such as Step 1. To complete the suite, we are beginning to offer Step 1 online so kids can have access to chess class no matter what his/her level is. The only requirement for Step 1 is that the kid can play from the beginning to the end. We still believe that pre-Step 1 teaching requires face-to-face and maybe one-on-one interaction.
I have been offering pre-Step 1, Step 1 up to Step 4 offline for 5 years now. Step 1 is in fact the most popular class. The new online Step 1 will follow the 3-session model: Step 1, Step 1 extra, and Step 1 plus. A big early concern was that the Step 1 students usually play slowly, so they can't finish their games in class. But we changed our online class format. They will not play in class anymore. They will play before the class. The coach will review their game records. This is one big advantage of online classes over the offline classes.
Let's wish the new Step 1 class could be successful!
