About The Position

The Lead Teacher Trainer at Chess Wizards leads fun, interactive chess classes for elementary students and helps ensure instructors’ performance meets customer expectations. Alongside the responsibilities of a top instructor, the role assists with training, developing, coaching, and evaluating other instructors, and supports the local Area Manager with program visits, quality control, customer conversations, and resolving program challenges.
