  • Travel Compensation: Mileage reimbursement provided for trips over 15 miles one way (30 miles roundtrip), from your home or work location. Work locations are assigned by the manager based on available schools and classes in your area.
Lead Teacher Trainer Essentials:
  • A Lead Teacher Trainer must be able to reach most or all of our classes in the metropolitan areas – reliable transportation is essential.
  • Lead fun, interactive chess classes for 10–15 energetic elementary students. Instructors should be comfortable guiding activities, keeping students engaged, and redirecting behavior when needed
  • Minimum of 2-3 years of experience working with groups of children (teaching, tutoring, coaching, camp counseling, or similar)
  • Lead Teacher Trainers are expected to set the example of what the best Chess Wizards experience should be for our 4 customer groups: Kids, Parents, School Administration, and Fellow Colleagues, in full alignment with the Chess Wizards Mission Statement.
  • Must be available during the after school hours at least 4 days per week. Our preference is availability 5 days a week, for our peak program weeks during the fall, winter and spring sessions (semesters). We will ensure that you have a full Monday-Friday after school schedule during our peak program weeks, provided that we have classes scheduled for that day. Actual class start time will vary, depending on the assignment. Most of our classes begin directly after each school's afternoon dismissal bell, which are usually between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Our standard program time is one hour. Teachers must arrive 15 minutes prior to the program start time to set up and prepare, and stay until all students have been safely dismissed to an authorized adult. Our Lead Teacher Trainers are paid per-class (Typical class time is approximately one hour and thirty minutes which includes pre-class setup, instructional time, and post-class responsibilities). Official class times that are longer than one hour pay more, appropriate to the extra time added.
