The Prodigy Program is the world’s first and only fully structured online chess learning program that helped create the youngest-ever chess master in American history. This is Month 1 of the 2018 Prodigy Program, including four hours of live instruction, carefully chosen homework exercises for each lesson, and instructional annotations to one of the student’s own games.

The good start.
1. Lecture #1 was most clearly presented one. I like the way Kostya has laid down the material and had structured his thoughts in advance. 2. The Lecture #2 by Uncle Yermo was a slow one, even by uncle's standard. The good part of the lecture is in "His thoughts on out of the subject". Do not take this in a wrong way the material was good. 3. The Lecture #3 by Uncle Yermo in contrast to lecture #2 was easy for me to grasp and more importantly to follow. Well done. 4. The Lecture #4 by Jacob, was the only one I watched in LIVE, it was full of insights and gave me an ability to watch a GM in the "pondering mode".

Excellent
This is simply the best online chess course, with international and well-known masters (FM, IM and GMs, and sometimes world champions like Anand and Karpov!), fully dedicated to provide excellent content in a structured way. I've been attending classes for 2 years now, and my OTB (over-the-board) rating has increased over 300 points. Live classes, as well as recorded lessons, are very well designed, and chat interaction with the teacher makes the learning experience unique. Albert

I would like to try this. Money is very tight right now.
Here’s the link for the Lite program:
https://chessuniversity.com/prodigy-program-lite
You can try the lite version of the courses which includes the live lessons (and of course access to its recordings afterwards).
I guess you can also watch all the introductory lessons for each section, which are free, and are very good regardless of your rating level.
