Unlock Your Child’s Full Math Potential

At Virginia Commonwealth Chess Kids, our math programs are designed to give students the confidence, skills, and problem-solving ability they need to excel.
With nearly 20 years of Loudoun County Public Schools teaching experience, we offer a structured, supportive, and highly engaging approach for learners from Grades 3–8.

Whether your child is developing foundational skills, strengthening upper-elementary concepts, or preparing for advanced middle school math, we guide them through a clear, level-appropriate pathway that builds deep understanding and a love for learning.

 

Why Our Math Program Stands Out

Experienced, Licensed Educator

Led by a veteran LCPS teacher skilled at connecting school curriculum, enrichment, and advanced math readiness.

​

Structured Learning Pathways (Grades 3–8)

We place students in the program that matches their level:

• Math Enrichment (Grades 3–5) – Teacher-led instruction + adaptive learning through Mathspace

• Pre-Algebra (Grades 5–8) – Advanced, direct instruction preparing students for Algebra 1

​

Small Group Instruction

Students receive personalized attention, targeted support, and consistent feedback.
Regular updates keep parents informed and involved.

​

Our math pathways ensure that every student — whether building foundations or accelerating — receives the right level of challenge and support.

F.A.Q.

 

GENERAL QUESTIONS

​​

Q: What grades do you accept for your math programs?

We currently accept students in Grades 3–8, with two distinct pathways:

• Math Enrichment (Grades 3–5)

• Pre-Algebra (Grades 5–8)

Students are placed based on readiness and teacher recommendation.

​

Q: How are students placed into Math Enrichment or Pre-Algebra?

Placement is based on grade level, teacher input, and the student’s readiness.

​

Q: Can my child take both Math and Chess?

Yes. Many students choose to take both programs.
For Grades 3–5, the Math + Chess Combo makes scheduling easy.
Older students may attend on different days depending on placement.

​

Q: What is your teaching style?

Clear, structured, and student-centered.
We focus on:

• conceptual understanding

• step-by-step reasoning

• confidence building

• problem-solving skills

• real-world applications

Our approach supports both struggling learners and advanced students.

​

Q: Do you assign homework?

Homework is minimal and optional.
Students may be encouraged to complete short Mathspace practice outside class for reinforcement.

​

Q: How do you update parents on progress?

We provide regular communication, including progress notes, placement recommendations, and individual feedback as needed.

​

Q: What if my child needs more challenge or support?

Because our groups are small, we can adjust instruction and pacing to meet the needs of each student.
We also discuss placement changes when students are ready.

 

ENROLLMENT & TUITION

​

Q: Is there a registration fee?

No registration fees.
Your monthly tuition covers instruction, materials, and Mathspace access (Grades 3–5).

​

Q: How does billing work?

Tuition is billed monthly.
Your payment reserves your child’s spot in the class.

​

Q: What is your class cancellation/make-up policy?

Make-up sessions may be offered when available, but they are not guaranteed.
Tuition holds your child’s weekly instructional time and classroom seat.

​

Q: How do we enroll?

Simply contact us or submit the enrollment form.
Because groups are small, spaces fill quickly.
