Learning Coach   $100,000 USD/year

Description

  • On-site role in Springfield, MA (relocation assistance available)
  • $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately

Do you see a student reach 99% of their target and feel compelled to push for that final 1%? The most meaningful support you can offer a child who achieves 99% is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels unreasonable, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your confidence in a student's capability—continue reading.

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in approximately two hours using adaptive technology. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role addresses what technology cannot: developing life skills in Pre-K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You will spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is dedicated to individual or small-group sessions where you analyze student progress through Coachbot analytics within adaptive learning platforms and ensure they achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not attendance or effort metrics.

This is demanding, selective work. Your first year centers on mastering our approach: workshop delivery, motivational coaching, mastery verification, and demonstrating your ability to hold every student accountable to complete goal achievement. Excel here and advancement to Lead Guide becomes accessible. The role demands warmth, executive presence, and uncompromising standards. Submit your application now.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback literacy, adjusting your delivery style and energy for Pre-K through 8th grade developmental ranges
  • Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review adaptive learning app progress (analyzed through Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive students toward 100% completion of weekly benchmarks
  • Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine life skill mastery rather than simple participation
  • Implementing focused interventions when students experience academic lag or disengagement—diagnosing underlying issues and creating structured recovery strategies
  • Cultivating authentic connections with individual students that establish the trust necessary for them to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and moments of low confidence

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching traditional academic content or delivering lectures (core subject learning occurs through adaptive platforms, independent of your instruction)
  • Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your responsibility is execution with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
  • Handling parent communication or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these functions; your attention remains on student development)
  • Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in Alpha's model)
  • Operating independently without support (you collaborate within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)

Key responsibilities

Drive every student in your cohort to develop a love of learning, achieve mastery of critical life skills, and complete 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
  • 3+ years of direct experience working with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles).
  • Demonstrated history of motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your specific actions, and measurable results).
  • Comfort with a coaching-exclusive framework where all core academic instruction is delivered by the learning platform. Your function is motivation and guidance, not subject-matter teaching.
  • Daily operational use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude).
  • Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Springfield, MA location (relocation assistance provided).
  • Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.

Nice to have

  • Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined objectives.
  • History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance).
  • Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain Pre-K–8 student engagement for an hour without volume escalation.
  • Proven ability to connect with disengaged or reluctant students and convert them into active, motivated learners.
  • Experience supporting students who receive special education services.
