The best thing you can do for a kid who scored 99% is tell them it's not a passing grade. If that thought makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, read on.
At Alpha, students complete their academic work in two hours daily using self-directed AI-driven applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom-based content instruction. This structure allows you to focus on what genuinely impacts student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback culture; driving students toward 100% learning goal attainment using live data; and developing the Guides who support your mission.
A typical morning could begin with a one-on-one Guide coaching session, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing where a cohort is underperforming. By midday you're facilitating a live student workshop, executing a structured activity on feedback exchange. Afternoons transition to motivation work: engaging individual students, discovering their intrinsic motivators, and leveraging Alpha's incentive architecture to re-engage a reluctant middle schooler. You maintain your own cohort directly, ensuring you remain proficient in the competencies you're coaching others to master.
You've likely been the outlier in education environments: excessively metrics-oriented, overly outcomes-focused, too willing to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the first organization where you truly belong. You'll begin coaching other Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable outcomes at scale, your authority over campus-wide program standards expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply today.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating original content
- Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student data and Alpha's reward infrastructure (campus currency, performance leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Developing Guides on program adherence and standard enforcement, ensuring every coaching interaction yields concrete improvement steps
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify underperformance before it escalates
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering academic lectures or providing subject tutoring to students. Students progress through self-directed applications without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson plans. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not innovation.
- Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Guides don't deliver traditional instruction, so you're developing energy management, motivation techniques, and accountability practices instead.
- Accepting 99% when the standard is 100%. Maintaining this boundary demonstrates your belief in their capability to reach it.
- Serving as the campus "emotional support person." Students receive genuine connection here, alongside honest feedback and meaningful accountability.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every student in your cohort: they develop a genuine love for school, achieve learning velocity twice that of traditional classrooms, and build authentic life competencies.
