If sport and games are more your bag, you can get tennis tips from none other than Serena Williams, take chess lessons with Garry Kasparov and learn poker strategy from Phil Ivey. Or maybe you’d like some courtside tips on shooting, dribbling and ballhandling from basketball great Stephen Curry?

Celebrated American photographer Annie Lebonitz, meanwhile, offers a MasterClass in photography, legendary Canadian architect Frank Gehry gives lessons in design and architecture, astronaut Chris Hadfield teaches space exploration, and Oscarwinning actress Natalie Portman shares her tips on acting.

Among the many options available, you can also take a business leadership course from former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, get guitar lessons from music legend Carlos Santana, and learn the art of investigative journalism from media industry veteran Bob Woodward.

An immersive online experience, each MasterClass is delivered via a series of videos. The curriculum for each course is designed by the instructor. Each class includes extensive prerecorded video content, a class workbook, interactive assignments, and community activities.

The beauty of it is that the videos can be watched at any time, and they can be paused, fast-forwarded, and re-watched as many times as you like.

A MasterClass course typically contains 25 video lessons, each about five-to-ten minutes long – so you can take a lesson during your lunch break or when you have some downtime at home.
