Description
- On-site in Houston, TX — campuses located in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary paid weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
The kindest thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that philosophy unsettles you, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your confidence in a student's ability to achieve them, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Through adaptive software, students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours. There are no lectures or textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot accomplish: developing life skills in Pre-K through 8th grade students—skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops using structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is dedicated to individual or small-group sessions where you examine student progress in adaptive learning platforms via Coachbot analytics and guide them toward achieving 100% of their weekly objectives. Mastery is validated through Test2Pass assessments rather than participation-based grading.
During your first year, you will manage a student cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology: life skill facilitation, motivational coaching, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement opportunities emerge to Lead Guide—a position where you mentor other Guides while remaining directly engaged with students. The most effective individuals in this role don't simply impact individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide operations.
If you have years of experience coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have wished you could eliminate traditional instruction to concentrate on genuine development, this is the opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill sessions for Pre-K–8 students focused on public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback (activity-based and project-driven)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review student performance in adaptive learning platforms (leveraging Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and guide them toward completing 100% of weekly targets
- 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 energy and physical engagement to 8th graders needing direct communication and accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with every student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching during moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, not direct teaching from you)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum materials independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these areas; your focus remains on students)
- Evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist at Alpha)
- Operating independently (you collaborate with a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide feedback and mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a genuine 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–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, including at least one concrete example you can articulate (the objective, your specific actions, and the result achieved)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Able to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp coordination, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve defined objectives
- History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinction, competitive sports, or leadership positions demanding sustained high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing your volume
- Proven success motivating unengaged or resistant students and transforming them into active contributors
