Description
- On-site position in Houston, TX (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately
The kindest thing you can do for a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position will not suit you. 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 from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics 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—skills like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You will spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining half involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving them toward 100% completion of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics.
During your first year, you will manage a student cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivational coaching sessions, mastery-driven evaluations. Once you consistently guide every student to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—a role where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining actively engaged with students. Top performers in this position do more than transform individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide operational excellence.
If you have years of experience coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wish you could eliminate traditional instruction to concentrate purely on their personal development, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for Pre-K through 8th grade students covering public speaking, focus, teamwork, and constructive feedback (experiential and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions where you analyze each student's adaptive learning progress (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them toward 100% weekly goal achievement
- Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of life skills, beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K learners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and insecurity
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing lectures or traditional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, not direct instruction from you)
- Creating lesson plans or original curriculum (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or school administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain concentrated on student development)
- Evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized testing (these elements do not exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you function within a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management capacities)
- 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 actions, and the result)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Availability to work on-site 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 management, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
- History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Experience motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged participants
