Life Skills Coach   $100,000 USD/year

Description

  • Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico (on-site) | Compensation: $100,000/year | Full-time: 40 hours/week

If you prefer structured lesson plans and predictable classrooms, this role isn't for you. This position demands someone who can take charge of 10–15 young children, sustain high energy throughout the day, and enforce rigorous standards without compromise. You will guide behavior, attention, and execution in the moment, and you will demand excellence, not merely effort.

Alpha is an AI-powered private school founded on a core principle: children can achieve mastery of foundational academics more rapidly through adaptive learning technology, freeing time to develop the life skills that truly shape their trajectory. Your responsibility is to execute this model with a K–3 cohort. As a Guide, you oversee one cohort band — either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st grade) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd grade) — and adjust your approach, tempo, and activities to match that band. You will facilitate experiential life skills workshops (including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange) and accelerate daily advancement within learning apps by leveraging Coachbot analytics, defined benchmarks, and reliable motivation frameworks.

This is performance-driven work. Success is measurable: 2x academic progress per semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and students demonstrating life-skill competence through Test2Pass. If you're prepared to lead with intensity, accuracy, and confidence, we're ready to hear from you.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitate one-hour, experiential life skills workshops leveraging narrative techniques, dynamic pacing, and hands-on practice to ensure students achieve Test2Pass certification
  • Leverage Coachbot analytics to identify obstacles proactively, establish daily and weekly benchmarks, and maintain momentum for every student in adaptive learning applications
  • Conduct group check-ins that build on objectives, recognize progress, and identify challenges before they compromise performance targets
  • Deploy motivation frameworks (school currency, leaderboards, reward structures) to produce measurable shifts in focus, resilience, and productivity
  • Provide immediate intervention when students encounter difficulty or lose focus, coaching critical thinking and self-correction as issues arise

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching academic content through traditional lectures or one-on-one tutoring as the main instructional method
  • Supervising students passively while they work on devices and expecting progress to occur independently
  • Adjusting weekly benchmarks downward to improve reported outcomes
  • Facilitating workshops where students engage but fail to demonstrate competence upon completion

Key responsibilities

This role exists to ensure a K–3 cohort reliably achieves 2x academic progress per semester while sustaining 90%+ student satisfaction and confirmed life-skill mastery.

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in any field
  • Full fluency in English
  • At least intermediate Spanish proficiency for behavior management, instruction delivery, and family communication
  • 3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–9 in dynamic, high-engagement environments (classroom, camp, coaching, or afterschool programs)
  • Experience actively leading and engaging groups of 10–15+ young children (not limited to supervision)
  • Background in structured goal-setting or progress tracking with children
  • Demonstrated ability to receive performance feedback and implement it effectively
  • Willing to work on-site in Dorado, Puerto Rico
  • Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship

Nice to have

  • Experience designing or delivering structured workshops that incorporate assessment or performance validation
  • Experience applying data or learning analytics to accelerate student outcomes (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
  • Hands-on experience with incentive mechanisms such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth context
