You have accomplished difficult goals. You understand what it means to operate within real standards. You know the line between effort and actual performance. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a setting where it fundamentally shifts a young person's path, this position is designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-driven 1:1 instruction so students complete their core academics in roughly two hours per day. The remainder of the day is dedicated to life skills, passion projects, and meaningful personal development. At our most rigorous campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor who can assess the environment, establish clear expectations, and guide them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not a conventional teaching role. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curriculum. You will coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills workshops. You will interpret performance data to identify what is limiting a student's progress, then provide firm, thoughtful support until they execute.
If you carry a marker of excellence and a history of elevating others' performance, we want to hear from you. Apply to help create a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop real capabilities, and surpass ambitious targets.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate 1:1 and small-group coaching that translates student objectives into reliable action and trackable outcomes
- Leverage data and individual goals to identify obstacles and design ambitious, personalized accountability frameworks
- Lead structured life-skills workshops grounded in authentic storytelling, guided reflection, and practical application, then evaluate comprehension
- Conduct daily opening sessions that establish culture, uphold rigorous expectations, and prepare students for focused work
- Build strong mentor relationships with students and their families through unwavering standards, reliability, and thoughtful decision-making
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring
- Develop curricula, write lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative management responsibilities
- Compromise standards to achieve immediate compliance or superficial progress
Key responsibilities
Ensure that students at Alpha's most demanding campuses remain deeply engaged and demonstrate consistent progress and life-skill mastery through elite, high-accountability coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- At least one demonstrable marker of excellence (in athletics, academics, professional achievement, or elite-level coaching)
- Proven experience in mentoring, coaching, or leadership roles that produced measurable improvements in others' performance
- Confidence working in high-accountability settings with transparent standards and consistent follow-through
- Capability to facilitate compelling, high-rigor group sessions and provide sound individual coaching
- 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 in the United States
Nice to have
- Track record using performance data and analytics to inform coaching strategies and accountability structures
- Experience in competitive startups, selective organizations, or elite athletics programs with rigorous performance cultures
