Join a Growing Team This Fall

Join one of the Bay Area's longest-running after-school chess programs. For over 18 years, Yes For Chess has helped thousands of elementary students discover chess through fun, engaging instruction.

We're hiring now for our Fall 2026 school programs and are looking for a dependable instructor who wants meaningful work, enjoys working with children, and is interested in growing with our organization.

We're hiring ahead of the school year so you'll have plenty of time to prepare for success.

Apply Now (applications are reviewed as they come in)
Interviews: July-August
Paid Training: August
Teaching Begins: September

Our onboarding process is designed to help new instructors feel confident before leading their first class.

About the Role

We're seeking an instructor who lives in or near Palo Alto or Sunnyvale to teach after-school chess classes at local elementary schools.

Successful instructors are recognized for their reliability and performance through opportunities for hourly pay increases and involvement in special events, tournament support, and other program initiatives when available. Whether you're an educator, a college student, or someone looking for rewarding work with children, we'd love to hear from you.

Primary Teaching Areas

We're especially interested in candidates who live near:

Palo Alto
Sunnyvale
Mountain View
Menlo Park
Santa Clara
East Palo Alto
Redwood City

Primary teaching assignments will be in:

Palo Alto
Sunnyvale
Santa Clara

Occasional substitute or coverage opportunities may be available in nearby communities, including San Jose, San Bruno, and San Francisco.

Because instructors travel between schools, reliable transportation and proximity to the area are important.

Schedule

Up to 5 afternoons per week to start
Classes typically begin between 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM
Most shifts run approximately 90 minutes
Designed to grow into more hours over time

What You'll Do

Teach engaging after-school chess classes for elementary students
Create a fun, encouraging, and structured classroom environment
Build positive relationships with students, school staff, and families
Arrive prepared, on time, and ready to lead each class
Communicate professionally with the Yes For Chess team
Occasionally provide coverage at nearby schools when needed

What We're Looking For

You don't need to be a chess master.

We're looking for someone who is:

Reliable, punctual, and professional
Great with elementary-age children
Friendly, patient, and energetic
Comfortable managing a classroom independently
Organized and communicative
Able to travel between nearby schools using reliable transportation
Successful completion of a background check prior to employment

Previous teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp, or childcare experience is highly valued.

Why Join Yes For Chess?

We're building a team, not just filling shifts.

Our instructors receive:

Paid training + mileage reimbursement
Ongoing coaching and support
Competitive hourly pay ($27–$29/hour)
Consistent afternoon scheduling
Opportunities to take on additional classes and increase weekly hours

The Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidates are dependable professionals who enjoy working with children, communicate well, and are looking for a long-term opportunity with an organization that values reliability, growth, and community.

If you're excited to make a positive impact in local schools while joining a supportive and growing team, we'd love to hear from you.
