Are you a teacher/tutor/storyteller with an eager and optimistic outlook in the New York City area? WE'RE SO GLAD YOU FOUND US!

Chess at Three is the only company in the world that teaches children as young as 3 years old how to play chess completely through fun and silly stories. And (shhh...) you do NOT need a ton of prior chess experience to be a great tutor!

We have over 100 teachers/tutors teaching thousands of children in schools all over New York City. We’re also in schools in Los Angeles, Hong Kong & Singapore. 

Chess at Three is currently in a state of growth and our business has doubled every year for the last 4 years. As our community and network expands, the demand for creative learning for kids is skyrocketing! We want to help bring Chess, as well as role-playing games and backgammon, to more schools in New York and around the globe!

We are looking for fun people who have experience working with children. We value fun way more than we do chess skills. Have we mentioned we love fun...? We want people with passion and heart who are driven to success. But most of all, we are looking for people who possess joyous hospitality - people who see teaching children and building relationships with parents as an enjoyable and meaningful service.

About The Opportunity:

Chess at Three is looking to hire more teachers/tutors/storytellers that will teach at our many school partnerships throughout New York City. We need tutors to fulfill during school time slots and afterschool time slots. 

Familiarity with the game of chess is good, but mastery is not required! If you can tell a story, you can teach chess! You will be teaching the Chess at Three Method, the only method available that teaches children as young as 3 to play chess!

Our extensive and fun curriculum is full of stories, games, and puzzles, all with outlined lessons in order to set you up for success! We provide you with a variety of material to give you options within the course, so that you can structure your lessons based on the kid and the day!

This is a great job for teachers looking to try something new, social workers looking for a change of pace, and also students who want to gain an abundance of in-class experience. 

It’s an amazing part time job that could possibly turn into more. 

We are looking for people to join us for this exciting time of rapid growth!
