You have achieved difficult goals. You understand what true standards look like. You recognize the gap between effort and results. If you are ready to apply that discipline where it reshapes a student's future, this position was designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-enabled 1:1 instruction that allows students to complete core academics in roughly two hours daily. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, interest-driven projects, and meaningful development. Our most demanding campuses require more than oversight—they need a credible mentor capable of reading dynamics, establishing expectations, and guiding students past resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not conventional teaching. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop lesson content. Instead, you will coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills training. You will interpret data to identify what limits a student's progress, then guide with precision and empathy until they execute.
If you carry an elite credential and a history of elevating others' outcomes, we are interested in speaking with you. Apply to contribute to a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop tangible capabilities, and surpass challenging benchmarks.
What you will be doing
- Conduct 1:1 and small-group coaching that converts student objectives into sustained action and quantifiable results
- Leverage analytics and goal frameworks to identify obstacles and design personalized, high-expectation motivation strategies
- Facilitate structured life-skills sessions grounded in authentic narrative, self-assessment, and practical use, then evaluate mastery
- Guide daily opening routines that establish culture, uphold rigorous standards, and prepare students before they begin their work
- Build trusted relationships with students and families through unwavering standards, reliability, and thoughtful decision-making
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring
- Create curriculum, develop lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, oversee campus logistics, or assume administrative management duties
- Compromise standards to secure immediate compliance or superficial progress
Key responsibilities
Ensure students at Alpha's most demanding campuses remain deeply engaged and demonstrate continuous advancement and life-skill proficiency through elite, standards-driven coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- At least one verifiable elite distinction (competitive athletics, academic honors, professional accomplishment, or elite-level coaching)
- Proven experience in direct mentoring, coaching, or leadership roles that produced measurable improvement in others
- Confidence working within high-accountability cultures with defined expectations and consistent execution
- Capability to facilitate compelling, high-rigor group workshops and provide individual coaching with discernment
- Commitment to full-time, in-person work at an Alpha campus: San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; or New York City, NY
- Authorization to work in the United States
Nice to have
- Track record applying data and performance metrics to inform coaching strategies and accountability systems
- Experience in competitive firms, high-growth startups, or elite athletic environments with rigorous performance cultures
