Description
- Onsite position in Houston, TX (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately
The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their target is to insist it's not complete. If that principle unsettles you, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your confidence in a student's ability to meet them—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently than conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role focuses on what technology cannot replicate: developing life skills in Pre-K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is devoted to individual and small-group sessions where you examine student progress through adaptive learning platforms via Coachbot analytics, ensuring they achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass evaluations, not attendance or effort grades.
During your first year, you'll guide a dedicated student cohort while mastering Alpha's methodology: life skills workshops, motivational coaching, and competency-based assessment. Once you consistently maintain every student at 100% goal achievement while sustaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—a role where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining engaged with students. High performers in this position don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence entire campus culture and operations.
If you've invested years coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people while wishing you could eliminate traditional instruction and concentrate exclusively on their personal development, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for Pre-K through 8th grade students covering public speaking, focus, teamwork, and constructive feedback (activity-based and experiential)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to examine each student's adaptive learning app progress (leveraging Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and ensure they reach 100% of weekly benchmarks
- Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life skill rather than simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K learners requiring dynamic engagement and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct communication and responsibility
- Cultivating authentic connections with every student so they trust your guidance through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, independent of your teaching)
- Creating lesson plans or developing original curriculum (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; you execute them through dynamic delivery and storytelling)
- Handling parent communications or administrative operations (Campus Leads manage these areas; your attention remains on student development)
- Evaluating assignments or coordinating standardized testing preparation (these elements are not part of Alpha's model)
- Operating independently (you collaborate within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your assigned cohort develops a love for learning, achieves mastery in critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives using adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum 3 years of direct experience with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K through 8th grade students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your specific actions, and the result)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Available to work onsite at Alpha's Houston, TX campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp supervision, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for driving kids toward defined goals
- History of personal high achievement (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions demanding consistent excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing volume
- Success motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged learners
