Introduction
This document provides advice to BGA members arranging teaching events. It does not deal with One-to-One teaching; instead it concentrates on group teaching events in a face-to face context (i.e. not remotely over the internet).
BGA Guide to Teaching Go (PDF)
Information about Teaching Beginners is also available in Chapter 4 of the Club Organiser's Handbook.
Over the last year the BGA has been increasing the amount of resources it puts into teaching. We have run a number of teaching events, and are running a number of "introductory" events to youngsters, generally through the "gifted and talented" programme.
