You have accomplished difficult things. You have operated within genuine standards. You understand the distinction between effort and results. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a setting where it reshapes a young person's future, this position was designed for you.
Alpha School employs AI-driven 1:1 instruction, enabling students to achieve mastery of essential academics in roughly two hours daily. This structure liberates the remainder of the day for life skills, self-directed pursuits, and meaningful development. At our most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They require a credible mentor capable of assessing group dynamics, establishing standards, and guiding them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not a conventional teaching position. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curriculum. Your function is to coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills workshops. You will analyze data to identify obstacles limiting a student's progress, then intervene with intentionality and precision until they execute.
If you possess an elite credential and a history of elevating others' performance, we are interested in speaking with you. Apply to contribute to a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop tangible capabilities, and surpass challenging objectives.
What you will be doing
- Conduct 1:1 and small-group coaching that converts student objectives into reliable execution and quantifiable outcomes
- Leverage analytics and student aspirations to identify barriers and establish ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Facilitate demanding life-skills workshops through authentic narrative, structured reflection, and practical implementation, followed by mastery evaluation
- Direct daily opening sessions that establish culture, uphold rigorous expectations, and orient students before work begins
- Build dependable mentor relationships with students and families grounded in elevated standards, reliability, and thoughtful discernment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring
- Develop curriculum, prepare lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise adult staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Compromise standards to secure immediate compliance or superficial results
Key responsibilities
Ensure students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses maintain high motivation and accomplish continuous growth and life-skill proficiency through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum of one verifiable elite marker (competitive athletics, academic distinction, professional achievement, or elite-level coaching)
- Demonstrated experience in direct mentoring, coaching, or leadership that produced measurable improvement in others' performance
- Confidence working within high-accountability settings characterized by explicit standards and consistent follow-through
- Capability to facilitate compelling, high-rigor group sessions and provide individual coaching with sound judgment
- Commitment to work full-time onsite 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
- Track record of applying data and analytics to inform coaching strategies and accountability systems
- Experience in competitive firms, high-performing startups, or elite athletics environments with rigorous performance standards
