You have accomplished difficult goals. You have operated within rigorous standards. You understand the gap between effort and execution. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a role that reshapes a young person's path, this position is designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-powered 1:1 instruction so students complete core academics in approximately two hours daily. The remaining hours are dedicated to life skills, self-directed projects, and authentic development. At our most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor who can assess dynamics, establish expectations, and guide them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not conventional teaching. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curriculum. You will coach. You will facilitate high-rigor life-skills workshops. You will analyze data to identify what limits a student's progress, then apply focused pressure with empathy and precision until they execute.
If you hold an elite credential and a history of elevating others' performance, we are interested in speaking with you. Apply to contribute to a campus culture where students arrive prepared, develop tangible skills, and surpass ambitious targets.
What you will be doing
- Conduct 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that convert student aspirations into reliable execution and quantifiable outcomes
- Leverage analytics and student objectives to identify obstacles and design ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Facilitate high-rigor life-skills workshops through authentic storytelling, structured reflection, and practical application, then evaluate mastery
- Facilitate daily opening moments that establish culture, uphold high expectations, and prepare students before work begins
- Build trusted mentor relationships with students and families through consistent high standards, reliability, and thoughtful judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring
- Develop curriculum, prepare lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Compromise standards to achieve short-term compliance or superficial results
Key responsibilities
Ensure students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses maintain strong motivation and accomplish sustained growth and life-skill mastery through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- At least one verifiable elite marker (athletics, academics, career achievement, or elite coaching)
- Experience in people-facing mentoring, coaching, or leadership that demonstrably improved others' performance
- Comfort working in high-accountability environments with defined standards and consistent follow-through
- Ability to facilitate engaging, high-rigor group sessions and coach individuals with sound judgment
- Willingness to work full-time onsite at an Alpha campus: San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; or New York City, NY
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S.
Nice to have
- Experience applying data and analytics to inform coaching plans and accountability structures
- Background in competitive firms, high-growth startups, or elite athletics programs with rigorous performance expectations
