You have accomplished difficult things. You have operated within genuine standards. You understand the distinction between effort and execution. If you wish to apply that discipline in a setting where it alters a young person's path, this position was designed for you.
Alpha School deploys AI-powered 1:1 learning that enables students to complete core academics in roughly two hours daily. That opens the remainder of the day for life skills, interest-driven projects, and meaningful development. At our most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They require a credible mentor who can assess dynamics, establish expectations, and guide them through resistance, distraction, and internal doubt.
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 workshops. You will analyze data to identify what is limiting a student, then apply appropriate pressure with both care and precision until they deliver.
If you possess an elite credential and a history of elevating others' performance, we would like to speak with you. Apply to contribute to a campus environment where students arrive focused, develop genuine skills, and surpass challenging targets.
What you will be doing
- Conduct 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that convert student objectives into reliable execution and quantifiable progress
- Leverage analytics and student objectives to identify obstacles and design ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Facilitate structured life-skills workshops using authentic storytelling, guided reflection, and practical application, then evaluate mastery
- Guide daily opening sessions that establish culture, reinforce elevated expectations, and prepare students before work begins
- Build credible mentor relationships with students and families through elevated standards, reliability, and thoughtful judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver classes, lectures, or tutoring in a traditional teaching capacity
- Develop curriculum, write lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise adults, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Reduce standards to achieve short-term compliance or superficial progress
Key responsibilities
Ensure students at Alpha's most demanding campuses remain consistently motivated and attain enduring growth and life-skill proficiency through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- At least one distinct elite marker (athletics, academics, professional achievement, or elite coaching)
- Background in people-facing mentoring, coaching, or leadership that demonstrably elevated others' performance
- Confidence operating in high-accountability settings with explicit standards and consistent follow-through
- Capability to facilitate engaging, high-rigor group sessions and coach individuals with sound judgment
- Commitment to work full-time on-site 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 strategies and accountability
- History in selective organizations, competitive startups, or elite athletics programs with rigorous performance standards
