Description
- On-site in Houston, TX (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary, disbursed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
The kindest thing you can do for a child who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability—continue reading.
Alpha is not a conventional school. Students complete an entire day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No standard textbooks. Your role focuses on what technology cannot replicate: guiding Pre-K through 8th grade students in life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. Half your time is spent facilitating hands-on workshops using pre-built playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining half involves meeting with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress through Coachbot analytics within adaptive learning platforms, and driving them toward 100% weekly goal completion. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics.
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. As you consistently guide every student to full goal achievement while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, opportunities emerge to advance to Lead Guide, where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers in this role do more than transform individual trajectories; they influence how an entire campus functions.
If you have years of experience coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have longed to eliminate traditional instruction in favor of focusing purely on their personal development, this is your opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for Pre-K–8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback skills (hands-on and project-driven)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions where you assess each student's advancement in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish goals, and drive them toward 100% weekly completion
- Overseeing and evaluating Test2Pass assessments to verify genuine mastery of each life skill, 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
- Developing authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through challenges, distractions, and moments of uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (students acquire core subjects through adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your role is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative tasks (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain concentrated on your students)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (neither exists in this environment)
- Operating independently (you are integrated into a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student within your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic targets 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 leadership capacities)
- 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 tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Able 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 leadership, or after-school program management where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward specific objectives
- History of personal high achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capacity: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Proven ability to motivate disengaged or resistant students and convert them into engaged participants
