We have taught chess to nearly 100,000 children in our 18-year history. Come teach with us!

Earn $55 - $75 per hour long club meeting

You will be a great fit if you :

  • Have experience as a camp counselor, tutor, teacher, coach, after school instructor, or preschool teacher
  • Are comfortable driving and have a flexible schedule with availability during after school programs, for example, an Uber or Lyft driver, a student, or a retired person looking for a part-time job.

You will receive thorough, paid training on how to help children learn chess in a small group teaching setting.

Here's a sample schedule of how your day might look :

  • 2 : 45pm - Arrive at school, check in, set up
  • 3 : 00pm - Kids arrive, you teach lesson
  • 3 : 20pm - Kids play practice games
  • 4 : 00pm - Clean up, parent pickup

Qualifications :

  • Knowledgeable in the rules and basic strategy of chess, or willing to learn
  • Experience or interest in working with elementary-age children, for instance as a small group tutor. Experience in a classroom setting is a plus!

  • Ability to lift 25 lbs of teaching equipment

Responsibilities :

  • Manage a classroom of 10-20 students

  • Promote good sportsmanship among students
  • Responsibly store and maintain all teaching equipment and materials

Guaranteed response within 72 hours of applying.
