Description
- On-site at Alpha School's campus in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- $100,000 annual compensation ($50/hour, 40 hours/week), paid weekly
- Teaching certification not required; Spanish fluency is beneficial
The highest form of support you can give a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it's not complete. If that principle makes you uneasy, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a child's potential, continue reading.
Alpha School operates on a 2 Hour Learning framework: K-8 students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive learning technology. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility is what the software cannot accomplish — guiding children through essential life competencies including public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and constructive feedback exchange.
Sixty percent of your time will be dedicated to individual student motivation: reviewing learning platform dashboards and Coachbot data, identifying where an 8-year-old struggles with fractions or a 5th grader avoids reading assignments, and helping them break through. The remaining 40% involves facilitating interactive, hour-long workshops that resemble improv sessions more than conventional instruction. Every student must demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass assessments before progression.
This position offers growth opportunity. You'll guide a small cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology during year one. Demonstrate your ability to hold all students to 100% goal achievement while maintaining strong satisfaction metrics, and advancement becomes possible to Lead Guide, then Campus Lead (overseeing an entire school). You'll witness a child who avoided eye contact in September confidently present to a room of parents by spring.
Apply if you believe 30 children seated in rows listening to one adult undermines what young people are truly capable of achieving.
What you will be doing
- Guiding K-8 students individually and in small groups through adaptive learning platforms, leveraging Coachbot analytics and dashboards to identify obstacles and their sources
- Implementing Alpha's motivation system (leaderboards, incentive structures, weekly goal-setting) to ensure every student progresses at the expected rate
- Facilitating hour-long, experiential life-skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback (project-driven and interactive, never lecture-based)
- Conducting Test2Pass mastery assessments and maintaining standards: students advance only when they demonstrate genuine understanding
- Establishing trust with students so rigorous accountability feels empowering rather than punitive
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (students master core subjects through adaptive technology, not direct instruction from you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up — Alpha supplies the curriculum and frameworks; you execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Grading assignments or preparing students for standardized tests; these elements do not exist in this model
- Handling parent communications or operational management — Campus Leads oversee those areas, allowing you to concentrate on your cohort
- Passively monitoring children on devices; if you're not actively engaging in coaching, you're not fulfilling the role
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% of their academic and life-skills objectives.
Candidate requirements
- Willing to work on-site at Alpha's Dorado, Puerto Rico campus
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct, hands-on experience working with K-8 (kindergarten through 8th grade) students via teaching, tutoring, youth programs, camps, or sports coaching
- Record of high personal achievement in academic, athletic, or professional domains
- Capacity to lead groups of K-8 students through dynamic, interactive workshops
- Proven ability to inspire young people through challenges and toward ambitious objectives
- Leadership and exemplary conduct that balances high expectations with meaningful support
- Legal authorization to work in the United States or Puerto Rico without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish for connecting with students and families in the Dorado community
- Coaching experience where demanding standards produced measurable results (competitive athletics, debate, performing arts, or selective youth programs)
- Background facilitating youth workshops, summer camps, or after-school programs where you developed the activities, not merely supervised
- Knowledge of adaptive or app-based learning systems (e.g., Khan Academy, IXL, DreamBox)
