Description
- On-site at Houston, TX locations — Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary paid weekly, plus health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
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 principle feels uncomfortable, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in a student's capability, 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 lectures. No textbooks. Your role covers what technology cannot: coaching students from Pre-K through 8th grade on essential life skills including public speaking, focus, and feedback exchange. You'll spend half your day facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is spent working individually or in small groups with students, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving them toward 100% completion of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments rather than participation-based grading.
During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology: 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 scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—coaching fellow Guides while remaining engaged with students directly. Top performers in this role 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 traditional instruction to concentrate on their actual development, this is that opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for Pre-K through 8th grade students covering public speaking, focus, collaboration, and feedback skills (project-based and hands-on approach)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions to review each student's adaptive learning app progress (via Coachbot analytics), establish goals, and drive them toward 100% weekly target completion
- Overseeing and evaluating Test2Pass assessments to verify genuine mastery of each life skill rather than mere participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K students requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct communication and accountability
- Cultivating authentic relationships with each student so they trust you to coach them through resistance, distraction, and moments of self-doubt
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive apps, not direct teaching)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum from the ground up (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your responsibility is executing them with energy and narrative engagement)
- Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these areas; you remain focused on students)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (these elements don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Ensure every student in your cohort loves school, masters essential life skills, and hits 100% of their academic goals through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- 3+ years of direct experience working with Pre-K through 8th grade students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
- Experience motivating or coaching Pre-K through 8th grade students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular goals, with at least one specific example you can describe (the goal, actions you took, and the outcome)
- Daily use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Willing to work in-person at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation support provided)
- Legal right to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve specific goals
- History of high personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Experience engaging disengaged or resistant students and transforming them into active participants
