Chess Specialist

GT SchoolNigeriaRemote

About the Company

GT School is built for gifted K–8 students who want “real stakes” learning, not casual enrichment. This role exists to turn gifted players into confident competitors who perform when it counts. You will lead live virtual workshops, run tournament-focused coaching, and create reusable training content that raises the bar across GT Anywhere and GT campuses.

Job Description

This is not a typical chess tutoring job. GT hires proven competitors, not generalist instructors. You will work with motivated students, clear skill levels, and measurable goals. Great work here shows up in ratings gains, stronger decision-making under time pressure, and tournament results families can celebrate.

If you have elite chess achievement, can teach with clarity on camera, and want to mentor the next generation of champions, we would like to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Run 2–4 live virtual domain workshops per week (60–90 minutes) that teach advanced strategy, tactics, and competition patterns
  • Assess each student’s level and adapt instruction so every session is hard, engaging, and confidence-building
  • Coach students for upcoming tournaments through mock games, analysis, and personalized improvement plans
  • Track student progress against benchmarks and use data from games to target the highest-leverage gaps
  • Create reusable lesson plans, puzzles, and strategy guides that other specialists can deliver consistently

Required Skills

  • Verifiable elite chess achievement (FIDE title, national/state ranking, high rating, or major tournament win)
  • At least 6 months of teaching, coaching, or mentoring experience with clear examples of student improvement
  • Ability to teach advanced concepts in simple language that gifted K–8 students can apply in games
  • Strong virtual presence and skill in running high-energy sessions over video
  • Commitment to 5–10 hours per week
  • Reliable internet and a professional video setup suitable for live instruction
  • Ability to provide credentials or a portfolio for verification
