Tutor   $100,000 USD/year

Description

  • $100,000 annual W2 compensation, distributed weekly; comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage effective day one
  • Based on-site at an Alpha K-8 school in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston (Central, South, or The Woodlands), TX; Park City, UT (Salt Lake City region) – relocation assistance available

This is not a teaching position. This is a motivation position.

The most powerful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because maintaining standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's capability, continue reading.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-driven applications. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Half of your day is spent facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions on topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. The remaining half is dedicated to working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot data, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly application targets. You will not follow a rigid script—workshops provide a foundation, but top performers in this role customize them and create new content when needs arise.

A successful quarter means every student in your cohort completes their weekly app goals, passes the Test2Pass assessment for every life-skills workshop, and 90%+ report that they love you. Falling short on any of these three measures means the role's expectations were not met. In your first year, you will master the operational playbook; as you demonstrate your ability to uphold standards, advancement opportunities open to Lead Guide, where you mentor new hires while continuing direct student engagement.

If you prefer traditional classroom teaching, expect fully developed curriculum to be handed to you, or view warmth and rigorous expectations as incompatible, this position will not be a fit. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp leadership, tutoring where you refused to let students give up, or performance work that commanded the attention of young children, the final stage before receiving an offer is a full-day on-campus trial coaching actual Alpha students. If that prospect excites you most, submit your application today.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational competencies, customizing the playbook and creating new material when you identify unmet needs
  • Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's reward structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal relationship with each student to overcome resistance
  • Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not pass until mastery is achieved
  • Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversations and accountability
  • Serving as the adult who maintains high expectations and the adult students choose to confide in; warmth grants you permission to challenge, and challenging demonstrates your confidence in their potential

What you will NOT be doing

  • Delivering instruction at a whiteboard; academic content is embedded in the applications, not delivered by you
  • Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established playbook through energy and narrative
  • Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this context is active, individualized, and persistent
  • Reducing a weekly target to help a student achieve it; when a student falls behind, the solution is coaching the student, not adjusting the goal
  • Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Key responsibilities

Guarantee that every student in your K-8 cohort completes their weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting that they loved you.

Candidate requirements

  • Able to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT – relocation assistance available
  • Bachelor's degree in any discipline
  • Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
  • A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
  • Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
  • Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
  • Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)

Nice to have

  • Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp coordination, theater, or after-school initiatives where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined objectives
  • Demonstrated record of personal excellence (academic, athletic, or professional), such that maintaining rigorous standards for others is habitual, not performative
  • Communication and presentation skills capable of sustaining the engagement of a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
  • History of converting disengaged or reluctant students into active, motivated learners
