Life Skills Coach

$100,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($50 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback skills, adjusting your delivery and energy for students ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review student progress in adaptive learning platforms (tracked through Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and ensure 100% completion of weekly targets
• Overseeing and evaluating Test2Pass assessments to verify genuine mastery of life skills rather than simple attendance or participation
• Implementing focused interventions when students experience academic setbacks or disengagement — diagnosing underlying issues and creating action plans for recovery
• Cultivating authentic connections with each student that create the trust necessary for them to receive coaching through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty

• Delivering traditional lectures or direct academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive platforms, not through your teaching)
• Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to execute them with engagement and narrative skill)
• Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these areas; your attention remains on students)
• Assigning or grading homework or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in this model)
• Operating independently (you collaborate with a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide mutual feedback and accountability)

Guarantee that every student in your group develops a love for learning, achieves mastery in fundamental life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through the adaptive learning platform.

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership capacities).
• Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, including at least one concrete example you can articulate (the objective, your actions, and the result).
• Willingness to embrace a coaching-focused model where academic content delivery is fully managed by the learning platform. Your function is motivation and guidance, not subject-matter instruction.
• Regular daily use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude).
• Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Springfield, MA campus (relocation assistance provided).
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.

• Background in youth sports coaching, camp direction, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve specific objectives.
• History of notable personal accomplishments (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring consistent high performance).
• Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of Pre-K–8 students for an hour without needing to raise your voice.
• Proven ability to connect with disengaged or resistant students and transform them into active, engaged participants.
• Experience supporting students who receive special education services.
