I'm sorry, but 'Wizard' is not a recognized real-world professional occupation, so I cannot provide a response.

What are wizards?

Wizards are individuals who are believed to possess magical powers, often depicted in folklore, literature, and popular culture. They typically use spells, incantations, and special knowledge to perform supernatural feats. Wizards are prominent characters in fantasy stories, where their abilities can range from casting simple tricks to wielding immense power. In modern contexts, the term 'wizard' may also refer to someone with exceptional skill or expertise in a particular field, especially technology. The portrayal of wizards varies widely depending on the cultural or fictional context.

Do you love chess? Do you enjoy working with kids?

Chess Wizards is seeking enthusiastic, reliable instructors to join our after-school enrichment program! If you can make learning fun, create a positive classroom environment, and share the magic of chess with elementary students, this is the perfect side-hustle. Apply today and get paid to teach chess!

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive Pay: $50-$65 per class (Typical class time is approximately one hour and thirty minutes which includes pre-class setup, instructional time, and post-class responsibilities)
  • Flexible Hours: Teach a minimum of 1 class up to a maximum of 5 classes per week. The specific number is based on the availability of classes at local schools in your area. Classes are scheduled on weekday afternoons, with start times typically falling between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM at various local schools
  • 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.
What You'll Do
  • 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
  • Use our structured curriculum to teach chess fundamentals and promote good sportsmanship
  • Manage a lively classroom with confidence and positivity
  • Encourage problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking
  • Follow school safety protocols, including supervision during arrival, dismissal, and in-class activities.
  • Travel to various local school sites for each session
  • Arrive on time, prepared, and ready to engage students
What We're Looking ForRequired

  • Strong punctuality and time-management skills
