You have accomplished difficult things. You have operated within authentic standards. You understand the distinction between effort and results. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a setting that reshapes a young person's path, this role is designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-driven 1:1 instruction, enabling students to complete core academics in approximately two hours daily. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, independent projects, and meaningful development. At our most rigorous campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor capable of assessing the environment, establishing expectations, 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. You will coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills workshops. You will interpret data to identify what prevents a student from advancing, then intervene with intention and precision until they execute.
If you hold an elite credential and have a history of elevating others' performance, we are interested in speaking with you. Apply to help create a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop concrete skills, and surpass ambitious benchmarks.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate 1:1 and small-group coaching that transforms student objectives into reliable execution and trackable outcomes
- Leverage analytics and student aspirations to identify obstacles and design ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Facilitate structured life-skills workshops using authentic narratives, guided reflection, and practical application, followed by mastery assessment
- Guide daily launch sessions that establish culture, reinforce elevated expectations, and prepare students before work begins
- Build trusted mentoring relationships with students and families through sustained high standards, reliability, and wise judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Conduct traditional classroom instruction, deliver lectures, or provide tutoring
- Develop curriculum, write lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Compromise standards to achieve immediate compliance or superficial progress
Key responsibilities
Ensure that students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses maintain strong motivation and achieve continuous growth and life-skill proficiency through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- At least one verifiable elite marker (athletics, academics, professional achievement, or elite coaching)
- Demonstrated experience in client-facing mentoring, coaching, or leadership that produced measurable improvements in others' performance
- Confidence working in high-accountability settings with defined standards and consistent execution
- Capability to facilitate engaging, high-rigor group sessions and coach individuals with sound judgment
- Willingness 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 United States
Nice to have
- Experience applying data and analytics to inform coaching strategies and accountability frameworks
- History in selective organizations, competitive startups, or elite athletic programs with demanding performance cultures
