About the Role

After-School Program Coach – Rewarding job, Flexible schedule, Fun, and People-focused

Basic chess knowledge is needed! One of the reasons our revolutionary approach is exploding across America is because we understand that the best chess teachers are educators that understand chess, not chess experts that try to educate. We have perfected a system to help exceptional teachers become exceptional chess teachers, regardless of whether or not they have ever played chess before applying.

The Company: Kids are central to everything we do and everything is oriented toward them. We don’t just focus on the top 1% of kids like traditional chess classes. Instead, our learning-based, kid-focused, ground-up approach focuses on all kids, and it completes the perfect childhood by helping kids grow in sportsmanship, character, and self-identity as very smart people. It instills a confidence that leads to classroom success and remains for life.

Our fun and exciting environment gives you the opportunity to make a difference for the kids in your community.

Our approach is revolutionary, unprecedented, and most importantly, fun! At the same time, we unapologetically put sportsmanship first, fun second, and chess prowess third.
