A 12-week private 1-on-1 online cubing coaching program
The Cube Confidence Club Private Coaching Program
Twelve weeks of private coaching, supervised practice and structured progression — designed around one student rather than a fixed curriculum.
- 12 Weeks
- Private 1-on-1
- Ages 8+
- Application only
12-Week Architecture
Five adaptive phases, not a fixed curriculum.
The sequence is stable. The content inside each phase is decided by what the student actually needs.
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–2
Understand
Establish current ability, observe solves, understand personal goals, assess beginner method or CFOP knowledge, measure Ao5/Ao12 where appropriate, identify primary bottlenecks and set practice expectations.
Deliverable: Individual Cubing Development Map
Phase 2 · Weeks 3–5
Build
Develop the missing technical skills. A beginner path may run Layer-by-Layer independence → Cross → F2L foundations → 2-Look OLL → 2-Look PLL. An intermediate path may focus on F2L, full PLL, Cross planning and recognition.
Deliverable: Clear technical milestones
Phase 3 · Weeks 6–8
Practise
Convert knowledge into fluency with a strong emphasis on supervised practice: repetition, drills, recognition, slow solves, timed solves, video analysis, live correction and consistency training.
Deliverable: Learning introduces the skill. Practice makes it usable.
Phase 4 · Weeks 9–10
Accelerate
With technique stable, reduce pauses, improve transitions, Cross, F2L and PLL recognition, develop look-ahead and controlled turning, and track Ao5 and Ao12. The final performance goal is refined or established here.
Deliverable: Agreed performance direction
Phase 5 · Weeks 11–12
Perform
Work toward the agreed benchmark: independent solve, F2L mastery, full PLL demonstration, an improved Ao12, a personal time target, competition simulation or first-competition preparation.
Deliverable: Final Performance Review + 90-Day Next-Step Roadmap
Starting From Zero
A complete beginner should not be thinking about thirty-five seconds on day one.
The first milestone is independent solving. Speed follows structure, not the other way around.
Stage 1
Independent Solving
Milestone: Independent 3×3 solve
A structured Layer-by-Layer beginner method: notation, centres, edges, corners, recognising piece locations, first layer, middle layer, last-layer orientation, last-layer completion, and recovering from common mistakes.
- Basic notation
- First layer
- Middle layer
- Last layer
- Solving without prompts
Stage 2
Transition Into CFOP
Milestone: Cross → F2L → OLL → PLL as a framework
Once independent solving is secure, the student moves toward a more efficient Cross, intuitive F2L, pairing and inserting, 2-Look OLL, 2-Look PLL, basic finger tricks and cleaner turning.
- Efficient Cross
- Intuitive F2L
- 2-Look OLL
- 2-Look PLL
- Fewer rotations
Stage 3
CFOP Development
Milestone: The next highest-value skill, chosen individually
Possible areas include full PLL, expanded OLL, Cross planning, Cross + first pair, advanced F2L, recognition, look-ahead, controlled turning and algorithm execution. The student does not need to learn everything.
- Full PLL
- Expanded OLL
- Look-ahead
- Recognition
- Execution
Stage 4
Personal Performance Goal
Milestone: A benchmark developed from real training data
Only once the coach understands learning speed, motivation, practice habits, current Ao5/Ao12, recognition, retention, technical ability and response to timing is a final performance goal agreed.
- First independent solve
- Sub-90 / Sub-60
- Sub-45 / Sub-35
- Consistency
- Competition preparation
CFOP is taught as a framework, not a memorisation race. Algorithm depth depends on age, readiness, interest, current level, practice consistency and personal goals. No beginner is expected to memorise all fifty-seven OLL algorithms within twelve weeks.
The final performance goal is not imposed before we understand the student. It is developed through the training process.
Already Solving?
Start From Where You Are.
Many students arrive already able to solve. They are not looking for another tutorial — they want to know which skill to build next, and whether they are building it correctly.
“I want to learn F2L.”
“I want to learn full PLL.”
“I want to stop pausing.”
“I want to get faster.”
“I want to improve my Cross.”
“I want to learn look-ahead.”
“I want to compete.”
“I want to get under one minute.”
“I want to reach forty-five seconds.”
“I want to reach thirty-five seconds.”
The Private Coaching Program is personalised rather than a rigid pre-recorded curriculum. A student who wants full PLL does not need the same program as a student learning their first solve.
What Is Included
A private development system, not a set of lessons.
The information is not the expensive part. The individual diagnosis, implementation, correction and progression are the service.
Private Student Consultation
A parent and child consultation to understand goals, observe starting ability, determine fit and discuss training expectations.
Private Cubing Performance Assessment
An educational, coaching-based review of current method, solve structure, Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL, pauses, recognition, turning, mistakes, consistency and practice habits. This is not a psychological, medical, neurological or diagnostic assessment.
Individual Cubing Development Map
A personalised roadmap of what will be learned, in what order, and why.
Private 1-on-1 Coaching
Technical instruction and ongoing diagnosis with the coach, not a pre-recorded curriculum.
Supervised Practice Sessions
Live practice with real-time correction, so habits are shaped while they are still forming.
Personalised Drills
Student-specific exercises assigned between sessions and reviewed afterwards.
Video Review
Submitted solve footage reviewed technically within agreed limits. This is not unlimited 24/7 access.
Progress Tracking
Ao5, Ao12, technical milestones, algorithms mastered, F2L development, Cross consistency, pauses, recognition and practice completion.
Parent Progress Communication
What is improving, what is currently limiting progress, what is being practised and what the next milestone is.
Training Equipment
Premium but practical: a personally configured speed cube, backup cube, timer, mat, phone recording stand, training journal and storage case.
Final Performance Review
A structured comparison of the baseline with current ability at the end of the cycle.
90-Day Continuation Roadmap
A clear next path once the 12-week cycle is complete.
Who It Is For
A student who wants this.
Families who value highly personalised instruction and are willing to invest seriously in a child’s chosen interest. Primary student age: ages 8+.
- Already loves cubing
- Already solves and wants to progress
- Wants to start learning CFOP
- Wants to learn F2L
- Wants to learn OLL
- Wants to learn full PLL
- Wants to become faster
- Wants more structure
- Has plateaued
- Wants to compete
- Enjoys difficult skill mastery
- Is ready for regular practice
Who It Is Not For
When we would say no.
There is no judgement in this list. Private coaching is simply the wrong tool in these situations, and we would rather say so early.
- The child has no interest in cubing
- The activity is being pushed by the parent rather than chosen by the child
- The family wants guaranteed results without practice
- The family wants occasional drop-in tutoring
- The student is not willing to practise in a structured way
- The family is searching for the cheapest hourly tutor

Skill first. Speed second. Mastery throughout.
The Goal Is Not Simply to Solve the Cube.
The goal is to become a cuber. Someone who understands what they are doing. Someone who knows how to practise. Someone who can identify mistakes. Someone who can learn increasingly advanced techniques. Someone who has a next goal.
Applications are reviewed individually before a private consultation is offered.
