Description
- On-site in Houston, TX — campuses located in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual compensation, disbursed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one
The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position isn't the right fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's potential, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No physical 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'll spend half your day facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time, you'll meet with students individually or in small groups, analyze their progress through Coachbot analytics integrated with adaptive learning platforms, and drive them toward achieving 100% of their weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics.
During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's approach: life skill workshops, motivation 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 to Lead Guide becomes available—a role where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining engaged with students. Top performers in this position don't merely impact individual students; they influence campus-wide operations.
If you've spent years coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wished you could eliminate instructional teaching to concentrate on genuine developmental support, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for Pre-K–8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback exchange (activity-based and experiential)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions in which you examine each student's advancement in adaptive learning platforms (leveraging Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them to complete 100% of their weekly benchmarks
- Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify students have genuinely mastered each life skill, beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from Pre-K students requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct communication and responsibility
- Establishing authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic content (students acquire core subjects through adaptive applications, not through your instruction)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communication or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those functions; your focus remains on students)
- Evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized tests (neither exists in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
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)
- 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 (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Available to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Legal 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 to achieve defined objectives
- History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring consistent excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing volume
- Experience re-engaging disinterested or resistant students and converting them into active contributors
