The greatest support you can offer a struggling 8-year-old is maintaining high expectations. If that concept troubles you, this role isn't the right fit. If it resonates, continue reading.
Alpha has discarded conventional teaching methods. Academic learning happens through adaptive applications, allowing students to progress independently. No classroom lectures. No arbitrary grade restrictions. What remains—and what carries the greatest weight—is what technology cannot provide: essential life skills, sustained motivation, and an adult who consistently holds every student to standards beyond their perceived limits. This is your domain.
A typical morning might involve coaching a Guide using Coachbot analytics to identify exactly where a student group is faltering. By midday you're facilitating a live workshop with elementary and middle school students, executing a structured activity on public speaking or feedback delivery. Afternoon hours transition to motivation interventions: reviewing individual student progress data, activating Alpha's incentive mechanisms (campus currency, performance rankings), and re-engaging a resistant seventh grader. The split is roughly forty percent workshops, thirty percent motivation work, thirty percent Guide coaching. You maintain your own student cohort throughout, ensuring your coaching remains rooted in direct practice.
You've likely heard you're excessively outcome-oriented for the education field. Too reliant on metrics. Too insistent on boundaries that make colleagues uneasy. Alpha is designed precisely for that profile. You validate the model's effectiveness through your own student outcomes, elevate the Guides (Alpha's teaching staff) around you to matching standards, and as you demonstrate results, your authority over school-wide program design expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Submit your application today.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating hour-long live workshops focused on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for students in grades K-8, implementing Alpha's established playbook
- Conducting motivation sessions leveraging Coachbot analytics and Alpha's reward infrastructure (school currency, performance leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Coaching Guides on maintaining program integrity and standards enforcement, ensuring every coaching interaction yields specific actionable improvements
- Overseeing your own student cohort to keep your coaching anchored in current, hands-on experience
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators on a weekly basis to identify performance gaps promptly
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering instruction in mathematics, literacy, or any academic content — adaptive technology manages all academic teaching
- Developing curriculum or designing new workshop content (Alpha's playbook serves as your framework; excellence in execution is what matters)
- Training Guides on instructional methods (Guides don't lecture — your focus is coaching enthusiasm, motivation, and student accountability)
- Overseeing campus operations, financial planning, or administrative functions
- Lowering standards when a student approaches but hasn't achieved the benchmark (standards remain constant; your role is helping them reach it)
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every student: fostering a love of school, enabling learning at double the conventional rate, and developing practical life skills.
Candidate requirements
- Physical presence on-site in Toronto, Canada (remote or hybrid arrangements not available)
- Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or related discipline
- Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable field
- Previous leadership of a team comprising 5 or more individuals, including responsibility for hiring and performance-based termination decisions
- Hands-on experience working with youth between ages 5-14 in educational or developmental contexts
- Track record of building, launching, or substantially scaling a program, team, school, or initiative — beyond simply inheriting or sustaining existing operations
- Willingness to work in an educational environment that deliberately rejects conventional teaching approaches
- Valid legal authorization for employment in Canada
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or related discipline
- Background in athletic coaching, experiential program leadership, camp direction, or youth program management at a scale requiring cohort management and outcome measurement
- Transition from classroom teaching to program development or leadership roles in adjacent sectors (EdTech, tutoring enterprises, youth-focused nonprofits, school intervention teams)
- Familiarity with learning analytics platforms for informing weekly coaching strategies
- Conviction that the prevailing education system is fundamentally flawed and personal commitment to its reconstruction
