- $100,000 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health, dental, and vision benefits

The most supportive thing you can do for a kid who hit 99% of their goal is refuse to call it done. If that standard makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it makes you light up because you know that holding the bar is how you show a student you believe they can clear it, keep reading.
Alpha isn't a traditional school. Students master a full day of academics in about two hours through adaptive software. No lectures. No textbooks. Your job is the part technology can't do: coaching kids through life skills like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback. You'll run hands-on workshops, motivate students to crush their learning goals, and build the kind of relationships where a shy 4th grader ends up presenting confidently to a room full of adults.
This is a role that evolves. In year one, you own a small cohort of students and master Alpha's playbook: life skill workshops, motivation sessions, mastery-based assessments. As you prove you can hold every student to 100% of their goals while keeping satisfaction scores above 90%, the path opens to Lead Guide, where you'll coach a team while continuing to work directly with students. The best people in this role don't just change individual lives; they shape how an entire campus operates.
You won't find this at a traditional school. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring kids and wishing you could ditch the instructional teaching and actually help them grow, this is your move.
What you will be doing
- Delivering one-hour life skill workshops to K-12 students on topics like public speaking, focus, time management, and giving and receiving feedback (hands-on and project-based, never lecture-style)
- Running daily motivation sessions where you connect with individual students, review their progress in adaptive learning apps (using Coachbot analytics), and push them to hit 100% of their weekly goals
- Preparing and administering mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to confirm students have truly learned each skill, not just participated
- Building genuine relationships with each student so they trust you enough to accept coaching through resistance, distraction, and self-doubt
- Tracking student progress against satisfaction scores and goal completion metrics, adjusting your approach when results fall short
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing in front of a classroom or delivering traditional academic instruction (students learn core subjects through self-guided adaptive apps, not from you)
- Writing lesson plans from scratch (Alpha provides a life skills curriculum and playbooks; your job is to bring them to life with energy and storytelling)
- Managing parent relationships or school administration (Campus Leads own those responsibilities; you stay focused on your students)
- Grading homework or managing standardized test prep (none of that exists here)
- Working in isolation (you're part of a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and peers who share feedback and hold each other accountable)
Key responsibilities
Ensure every student in your cohort loves school, masters essential life skills, and hits 100% of their academic goals through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- 3+ years of experience working directly with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
- Willingness to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation support provided)
- Ability to attend a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program work where you were directly responsible for motivating kids to hit specific goals
- Track record of high personal achievement (academic honors, competitive athletics, or leadership roles that required sustained excellence)
- Natural storytelling ability: you can hold a room of 12-year-olds' attention for an hour without raising your voice
- Experience motivating disengaged or resistant students and turning them into active participants
