I'm looking for a platform, right now. I have an online home-school support program. I currently have 13 students enrolled. We use TeamSpeak as our audio platform and various white boards, etc. I want to be able to offer chess to students as well. What I'm looking for is a place (online, since they are in different cities) for the students to log into, so they can play each other. I also want a teacher to be able to watch various games as they are playing each other. Now, the problem with many sites is one of privacy, I don't want others contacting these students as they are minors. Can you help?

To be honest, it sounds like you're trying to maximize the amount of money you make for the time you spend. (Nothing wrong with that, I'm a music teacher)

But if you can't physically hold the class and it needs to be on line it sounds like your best bet is to use a platform like this one (chess.com) and hold individual private lessons.

Holding a group class over the web is not beneficial in any way to the students learning and as you've noticed complicates matters.
