A simple statement but a most profound one; I believe in order for us to raise to the level of our promise, it.s imperative that we know how much our God loves us. It is the key to unlocking our idiosyncrasies and all our hang ups. This can only be attained by having a relationship with God. So it is my goal to provide .one. opportunity for us to get closer to Him. Simply stated, issue the word of God every day and challenge all of us to get deeper in Him.

Teach chess in schools as a chess coach/instructor. Atlanta based Championship Chess has a complete turn-key program to teach chess to children using our unique curriculum and methods. This is an excellent opportunity for retirees, former teachers, homeschooling parents, or college students to earn excellent pay with opportunities for advancement. We are looking for coaches throughout the Atlanta metro area – especially in Gwinnett, N. Dekalb, N. Fulton, Cobb and Forsyth Counties. You should have some chess skills but do not have to be a tournament player. Teaching skills are a plus because you will be working mostly with students in grades 5 and below. It is feasible to work with us as a coach in areas that are not in the metro Atlanta area, as well.

You will be required to put in about 20 hours of non-paid training learning to use our chess materials as well as possibly visiting local chess clubs and tournaments.  After you are hired, we will continue to work with you and support you in the classroom, on the phone and online. Pay starts at $25.00 per class, after training is completed. Most classes start between 2:30 and 4:00 PM Monday – Friday and last for an hour. Some classes may be available in the morning as well. New coaches usually teach a class per day; 1-3 days per week depending on their level of experience and training. Additional hours are available as your teaching and chess skills improve. 

Other prerequisites:

You must have a working car and be 100% dependable

You must have a cell phone

You must have email and Internet access at home

You must be able to pass a background security check

You must sign a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement

You should enjoy teaching/working with young children

Please email your resume and a summary of your chess experience to chess@championshipchess.net  – how did you get started in chess, where did you play and what is your current level of play?  Steve Schneider or Dennis Jones will reply to all who send a resume and chess experience history and will contact qualified candidates to interview in Atlanta – dates to be determined.

Over the past few years, Steve has been instrumental in working with his partners to create Championship Chess — an organization that includes chess coaches, educators and curriculum writers who develop books, instructional videos and software to promote chess education.  Championship Chess teams and students have won regional, state and national championships. For more information on his programs and learning materials for schools, home schooling, and mentoring organizations, please reference his website: http://www.championshipchess.net.
