About The Position
Chess Wizards is hiring enthusiastic, reliable instructors for its after-school enrichment program in Sacramento, California. Instructors lead interactive chess classes for groups of 10–15 elementary students, using a structured curriculum to teach chess fundamentals and good sportsmanship. They create a positive classroom, keep students engaged, redirect behavior when needed, and encourage problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. The role includes supervising students in accordance with school safety protocols, including during arrival, dismissal, and class activities, and traveling to various local school sites. Classes take place on weekday afternoons, with start times typically between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Instructors teach between one and five classes per week, depending on local school availability. A typical class takes approximately one hour and thirty minutes, including setup, instruction, and post-class responsibilities. Pay is $55–$75 per class. Mileage reimbursement is provided for trips exceeding 15 miles one way from the instructor’s home or work location. Locations are assigned by a manager based on available schools and classes in the area. Relocation assistance is not provided; candidates must live in the Sacramento area or relocate at their own expense. Chess Wizards provides full training, ongoing support, curriculum and materials, free chess classes, advancement opportunities, flexible work, and a positive company culture. Applicants must submit a resume and complete a required questionnaire about their interest, experience working with children, and chess-teaching qualifications.
