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 skill workshops covering public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and feedback exchange, adjusting your delivery and energy for Pre-K through 8th grade age ranges
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review student progress in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish goals, and ensure 100% completion of weekly targets
• Administering Test2Pass assessments and evaluating results to verify genuine mastery of each life skill rather than simple attendance
• Providing targeted support when students experience academic or engagement setbacks—identifying underlying causes and creating action plans for recovery
• Cultivating authentic relationships with each student that create the trust necessary for effective coaching through challenges, distraction, and moments of self-doubt

• Delivering traditional academic lectures or direct subject instruction (core academics are learned through adaptive applications, independent of your instruction)
• Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies structured life skills playbooks; your responsibility is executing them with energy and narrative engagement)
• Handling parent communications or administrative operations (Campus Leads manage these functions; your focus remains entirely on students)
• Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in this model)
• Operating independently without collaboration (you work within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide feedback and mutual accountability)

Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of essential 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 with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership capacities).
• Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward measurable academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the goal, your actions, and the result).
• Willingness to embrace a coaching-focused model where all core academic instruction is delivered by the learning platform. Your function is motivational guidance, not subject teaching.
• Daily active 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 toward concrete goals.
• History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance).
• Instinctive storytelling skills: the ability to maintain Pre-K through 8th grade students' attention for an hour without needing to raise your voice.
• Success re-engaging disengaged or resistant students and converting them into active, motivated learners.
• Experience supporting students who receive special education services.
