Long term paid coach position

Hello! We have an excellent coach now but she is available only in mornings. So we are looking for an additional second coach for evenings (715pm-900pm EST in USA).

We will be looking for longterm lessons and approximately 150 hours of tutoring. (2-3 hours per week for a year).

Coach will be working with child on strategy, tactics etc.

Ideally, coach is:

Lighthearted, funny
Not too serious
Good English
Very good with children
Not too interested in ratings/competition (we focus on learning and enjoyment instead)
Emphasizes effort not “smartness” of chess moves

Coach doesn’t need to be Master etc. Just a very good teacher.

Compensation negotiable and to be paid weekly before each classes. Prefer PayPal or some easy way to pay.

Thanks!

😁

This is wonderful @Kman1818

This sounds like a great offer, but I don't think I'd have the time in my schedule for this. I would instead recommend checking out the chess.com coaches:

https://www.chess.com/coaches

All of these are approved by chess.com, so there's an additional qualification there; all of these chess players would be a good coach; then it simply becomes a matter of deciding which coach is a best fit for the student. Best of luck finding a good chess coach

Hello 🙂

I really liked the philosophy behind your post. I think many children develop much better when chess is connected to curiosity, enjoyment and effort rather than pressure and ratings.

I am an International Master from Hungary and have worked with both children and adults for many years. What you described about emphasizing learning and enjoyment resonated with me a lot.

Your time requirements would also work well for me.

Feel free to send me a friend request if you would like to talk further and see whether I might be a good fit for your child. 🙂

Best wishes,
Attila
