PRIVATE LESSONS
What is included in a private lesson?
Cube Class private lessons are personalized one-on-one lessons that aim to help our students achieve their cubing-related goals. Lessons are available for the classic 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, as well as for other puzzles, such as cubes of different sizes (2×2, 4×4, 5×5, etc.), puzzles of different shapes (pyraminx, megaminx, cuboids, shape modifications), and for events at competitions run by the World Cube Association (3×3 one-handed, 3×3 blindfolded).
How many lessons do I need?
Every student learns at a different pace. We typically recommend a minimum of 5 lessons for beginners to grasp the basic concepts and solve the cube for the first time. The specific number of lessons will also depend on your personal goals, previous experience with the Rubik’s cube, and practice habits. Once you become familiar with the foundations for solving the Rubik’s Cube, you may want to schedule additional lessons to learn advanced solving techniques and concepts relating to speedsolving in order to help you develop a deeper understanding of the puzzle.
What is the cost for private lessons?
Private lessons start at $45/hour. Additional costs may apply for travel requests and additional participants. Where can I take private lessons?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all lessons are currently being conducted virtually through video chatting software such as Skype, Zoom, or Google Meet. How long is a private lesson?
Private lessons are typically an hour in length. This provides optimal time for cubing concepts to be introduced, explained, and practiced. Who can book a private lesson?
Anyone over the age of 6 years old is welcome to book a private lesson. How do I schedule a private lesson?
You can register for private lessons here. How much notice do I need to provide before scheduling a private lesson?Private lessons can be booked online with 24 hours notice. If you would like to inquire about our availability for an earlier lesson, feel free to contact us. What if I need to cancel/reschedule a lesson?We can refund or reschedule lessons with a minimum of 24 hours notice.
SOLVING GUIDES
What is included in a solving guide?
Cube Class solving guides have been designed as supplementary learning tools to accompany private lessons. There are currently two solving guides available for purchase:
Layer-By-Layer Manual
– Contains simple instructions on how to solve the Rubik’s Cube using only 6 algorithms.
– Contains challenges and worksheets to help develop a greater understanding of the Rubik’s Cube.
CFOP Manual
– Contains comprehensive instructions on how to solve the Rubik’s Cube using CFOP, the most popular speedsolving method.
– Provides a strategy for progressing from the beginner’s method to a 16-algorithm intermediate method, and finally to the CFOP method.
– Contains tips on how to recognize and execute each of the 57 OLL algorithms and 21 PLL algorithms, as well as providing an optimal learning order.
What is the cost for a solving guide?
Solving guides cost $25 each.
SPEEDCUBE SALES
What is the difference between a speedcube and a Rubik’s Cube?
Speedcubes can be disassembled, lubricated, and tensioned to allow for speed, corner cutting, customization, and high performance.
What is the cost for a speedcube?
The price for a speedcube starts at $10, depending on the model.
