Description
- On-site position in Houston, TX — campuses located in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Health, dental, and vision coverage begins on day one
The most meaningful way to support a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist they finish. If maintaining that standard feels challenging, this position may not align with your approach. If it energizes you because you understand that upholding expectations demonstrates belief in a student's capacity, 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 traditional lectures. No physical textbooks. Your responsibility centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding Pre-K through 8th grade students in developing life competencies such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive communication. You will spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is dedicated to individual or small-group sessions where you analyze student progress through Coachbot analytics in adaptive learning platforms and challenge them to reach 100% of their weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments rather than participation-based grading.
During your first year, you will manage a student cohort while mastering Alpha's methodology: life skill facilitation, motivational coaching, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you consistently help every student achieve 100% of their goals while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—a role where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers in this position don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence entire campus cultures.
If you have experience coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have longed to eliminate traditional instruction in favor of focusing purely on their development, this represents that opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill sessions for Pre-K–8 students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, teamwork, and constructive feedback (experiential and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching meetings where you assess each student's advancement in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and challenge them to complete 100% of their weekly targets
- Overseeing and scoring Test2Pass assessments to verify students have genuinely mastered each life skill rather than simply attended
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K learners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversations and accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive guidance through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (students acquire core subjects through adaptive applications, not through your teaching)
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your role is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative functions (Campus Leads oversee those areas; you concentrate on your students)
- Evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in this model)
- 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 enjoys school, develops critical life skills, and achieves 100% of their academic targets through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 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 (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Availability 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 program management where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
- History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring consistent excellence)
- Innate narrative skill: you can maintain the attention of a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing volume
- Success motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged participants
