Tutor - South Brooklyn
About the role
Are you a performer/teacher/creative person with an eager and optimistic outlook in the South Brooklyn area? WE'RE SO GLAD YOU FOUND US!!!
Story Time Chess 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 over 15,000 children a week across New York and Los Angeles, and we're looking to to more cities this year!
Story Time Chess is currently in a state of rapid 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 are looking for fun and creative 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, and who see teaching children and building relationships with parents as an enjoyable and meaningful service.
