Coach $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
- On-site at Alpha campuses in Denver, CO | Atlanta, GA | Oklahoma City, OK | Nashville, TN | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX (Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands) | Park City, UT (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
The most valuable thing you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist they finish. If that principle feels uncomfortable, this position won't suit you. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's potential, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: developing life skills in K-8 students—public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative teaching. The remaining time involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and ensuring they reach 100% of weekly targets. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not attendance or effort grades.
During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology: life skills workshops, motivational coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you consistently guide every student to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—coaching fellow Guides while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers in this role don't merely impact individual students; they influence entire campus cultures.
If you've worked years coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wished you could eliminate traditional instruction to concentrate on genuine development, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback skills (experiential and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions where you examine student progress in adaptive learning platforms (through Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them toward 100% weekly goal achievement
- Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of life skills, beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from kindergarteners requiring dynamic, kinesthetic engagement to eighth graders needing direct conversation and accountability
- Establishing authentic connections with each student that create the trust necessary for effective coaching through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Conducting lectures or providing traditional subject-matter instruction (students acquire core academic content through adaptive applications, not direct teaching from you)
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is executing them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communication or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those areas; you concentrate on student development)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized testing preparation (these elements don't exist in this model)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide feedback and mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years working directly with K-8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching K-8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your actions, and the result)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands); or Park City, UT (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorized to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp management, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve defined objectives
- History of notable personal accomplishment (academic distinction, competitive sports, or leadership positions demanding consistent high performance)
- Innate narrative skill: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing your volume
- Success motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged participants
