Learning Designer Role
Chess Nomad is built on a simple idea: strong learning environments grow when educators are trusted, supported, and given room to experiment. The program follows a train-the-trainer model focused on adult education, practical application, and steady, organic growth. The work centers on helping educators think clearly, adapt confidently, and use chess as a tool to teach broader skills such as decision-making, pattern recognition, and reflection.
Chess Nomad focuses on training educators rather than scaling classrooms. Instead of rigid curricula or top-down expansion, it uses chess as a practical thinking tool to help adults develop judgment, adaptability, and confidence in their teaching. The model is intentionally flexible—educators can experiment, refine their approach, and decide how deeply they want to engage over time.
In this role, you’ll support educators by modeling flexible teaching approaches, collaborating with community members and influencers, and fostering open, constructive communication. While there may be occasional opportunities for informal role-play or open-play sessions with children, the core responsibility is to train and support adults.
Some educators may want to explore the work gradually through limited sessions, while others may choose a deeper level of involvement, including contributing to program development or business growth. Guidance is available for those who want it, without pressure to follow a predefined path.
Chess Nomad is still evolving, and this role reflects that. The goal isn’t rapid expansion or standardization—it’s to grow thoughtfully by empowering educators, strengthening local learning communities, and allowing the model to develop in response to real-world use.

For me, chess is much more than just pieces on a board—it is about building community and fostering inclusivity. I began my chess journey in 2009 in Georgia, with the vision of creating a vibrant, welcoming chess community. I believed that true mastery of the game comes from sharing its beauty and creating an environment where everyone feels encouraged to explore and grow.
Today, my beginner-friendly chess courses are designed for teachers seeking balanced activities for students. My chess courses provide spaces where teachers can feel embraced and build genuine relationships beyond the chessboard.
In my mid-thirties, I discovered chess. Chess became more than a game—it became a way to think. It helped me see and understand patterns, relationships, and abstract connections that language alone couldn’t explain. It gave structure to complexity. And it opened up entirely new ways of learning, experimenting, and discovering.
