Job description
Overview
Samsidh Mount Litera Zee School, a CBSE school in Bangalore, is hiring a Chess Coach.
Key responsibilities:
- Plan training sessions and conditioning programmes
- Coach students for inter-school tournaments
- Maintain equipment and safety standards
- Identify and develop young talent
Requirements:
- 2-6 years of relevant experience
- Certification in the sport from a recognised body; coaching experience preferred
About the school: Change is the only constant and our country has seen so many revolutionary changes in the last few decades. But sadly only in the field of education, we still follow the age-old practice of recognizing someone only by the grades and scores in the exams. No importance is given for the acquisition of skills and behaviour. It is unfortunate that eighty percent of our graduates are not work-ready and the remaining twenty percent also require some kind of orientation. Though our graduates fare extremely well on the content with rote learning, they struggle in the conceptual understanding which is a combination of knowledge, skill and application to real-life situations. These thoughts led to the creation of Samsidh Schools which teach the students the knowledge required, the skills to apply the learnt knowledge in real-life situations and the equanimous behaviour required to lead a contented life. Samsidh follows the CBSE curriculum and has collaborated with Zee Learn Ltd for the curriculum support.
Common questions about this role
How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Schools usually shortlist within a week or two. Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward.
Is there a probation period?
Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless.
Is English fluency required?
Yes — instruction is in English at most CBSE schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected.
Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?
For most K-12 teaching positions in India a B.Ed (or NIOS D.El.Ed for primary) is preferred and often required by board affiliations. Some pre-primary and special-skill roles accept relevant certification in lieu.
What kind of professional development is offered?
Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing.
