You have accomplished difficult things. You have operated within rigorous standards. You understand the gap between effort and execution. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a setting where it shapes a young person's future, this position is designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-powered 1:1 instruction to enable students to achieve mastery in core academics in roughly two hours each day. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, self-directed projects, and meaningful development. At our most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor who can assess the environment, establish expectations, and guide them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not a conventional teaching position. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curriculum. You will coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills sessions. You will interpret data to identify what limits a student's progress, then guide them with precision and empathy until they execute.
If you hold an elite credential and have a proven record of elevating others' performance, we want to hear from you. Apply to contribute to a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop real capabilities, and surpass challenging objectives.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that convert student aspirations into reliable action and trackable outcomes
- Leverage analytics and student objectives to identify obstacles and create ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Lead structured life-skills workshops grounded in authentic storytelling, guided reflection, and practical application, then evaluate mastery
- Facilitate daily opening sessions that establish culture, communicate high expectations, and prepare students before work begins
- Build trusted mentor relationships with students and families through unwavering standards, consistency, and thoughtful judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or tutoring
- Create curriculum, develop lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Compromise standards for the sake of immediate compliance or superficial progress
Key responsibilities
Ensure that students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses remain highly motivated and demonstrate continuous growth and life-skill mastery through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- At least one verifiable elite marker (athletics, academics, professional achievement, or elite coaching)
- Demonstrated experience in mentoring, coaching, or leadership roles that measurably improved others' performance
- Confidence working in high-accountability settings with explicit standards and consistent follow-through
- Capability to facilitate engaging, high-rigor group sessions and provide individual coaching with sound judgment
- Availability to work full-time on-site at an Alpha campus: San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; or New York City, NY
- Authorization to work legally in the U.S.
Nice to have
- Experience applying data and analytics to inform coaching strategies and accountability frameworks
- History in competitive firms, high-performing startups, or elite athletics environments with rigorous performance standards
