Description
- Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico (on-site) | Compensation: $100,000/year | Full-time: 40 hours/week
If a structured curriculum and predictable lesson plans are what you seek, this isn't the right fit. This position requires someone capable of managing a room of 10–15 young children with authority, maintaining high energy levels, and enforcing rigorous standards. You will provide real-time coaching on behavior, attention, and execution, and you will demand mastery rather than rewarding mere attendance.
Alpha is an AI-powered private school founded on a straightforward principle: children can achieve core academic competency more rapidly through adaptive learning applications, then dedicate remaining time to developing life skills that genuinely shape their trajectory. Your responsibility is to implement this model for a K–3 cohort. As a Guide, you oversee one cohort band — either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd) — and adjust your approach, tempo, and workshops to fit that band. You will facilitate practical life skills workshops (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) and accelerate daily advancement within learning apps by leveraging Coachbot analytics, explicit targets, and reliable motivation frameworks.
This work demands high accountability. The metrics are transparent: 2x academic progress per semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and students demonstrating life-skill proficiency via Test2Pass. If you are prepared to coach with intensity, exactness, and confidence, we are interested in speaking with you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate one-hour, practical life skills workshops utilizing narrative techniques, tempo control, and active engagement so students achieve Test2Pass certification
- Leverage Coachbot analytics to identify obstacles early, establish daily and weekly benchmarks, and maintain every student's progress trajectory in adaptive learning apps
- Conduct group check-ins that strengthen goal commitment, acknowledge achievements, and expose challenges before they result in unmet objectives
- Implement motivation frameworks (school currency, leaderboards, incentive structures) to produce measurable behavioral shifts in attention, persistence, and performance
- Respond immediately when students encounter difficulty or disengage, coaching critical thinking and self-correction as situations arise
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing academic lectures or one-on-one tutoring as the main instructional method
- Observing children on devices without active engagement while assuming progress will occur
- Adjusting weekly objectives downward to improve reported outcomes
- Conducting workshops where students attend but fail to exhibit mastery upon completion
Key responsibilities
This role ensures a K–3 cohort reliably achieves 2x academic progress per semester while sustaining 90%+ student satisfaction and confirmed life-skill proficiency.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- Full fluency in English
- At least intermediate Spanish proficiency to manage behavior, give directions, and communicate with families
- 3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–9 in high-energy, high-engagement settings (classroom, camp, coaching, or afterschool programs)
- Experience actively managing and engaging groups of 10–15+ young children (not supervision-only)
- Exposure to structured goal-setting or progress targets with children
- Track record of receiving performance feedback and applying it
- Willing to work in person in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience running structured workshops that include an assessment or performance check
- Experience using data or learning analytics to drive student progress (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
- Direct experience with incentive systems such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth setting
