You've excelled in an arena where only the best survive. Perhaps elite-level sports, graduation with honors from a top university, employment at a highly competitive firm, or a company you launched yourself. You understand the gap between participation and genuine competition. Now consider applying that rigor in a setting with K-12 students who have never encountered someone like you—someone ready to elevate them to benchmarks they never imagined reaching.
Alpha leverages AI-driven 1:1 instruction, allowing students to complete core academics in roughly two hours daily. The remainder of the day is dedicated to life skills, passion projects, and meaningful development. At Alpha's most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor whose personal success speaks for itself: someone capable of reading a room, establishing expectations, and guiding students through resistance, distraction, and doubt.
Your role is not to instruct content; it's to coach, challenge, and uphold the same rigorous standard you've applied to yourself. Eighty percent of your time goes to direct 1-on-1 and small-group coaching and life-skills sessions. The remaining 20% is devoted to tone-setting morning launches that cultivate a culture where mediocrity has no place.
The trajectory here is not about ascending into management. It's about mastery. You begin by internalizing Alpha's methodology and earning students' respect. Within months, you become the person they trust to push them beyond their perceived limits. The reward is not a title change. It's witnessing a student who avoided eye contact in September deliver a poised presentation to a room of adults by May.
If you've sought a way to leverage your elite achievements for impact beyond your own career, apply now. If you require a scripted syllabus, a traditional classroom structure, or a route to administrative leadership, this is not the right fit.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating 1-on-1 and small-group coaching that identifies personal obstacles, establishes ambitious targets, and enforces accountability for execution
- Leading structured life-skills sessions designed for skill acquisition, not engagement alone, drawing on authentic narratives from your own high-performance background
- Evaluating student achievement using platforms like Test2Pass and monitoring progress through Coachbot analytics to refine coaching approaches dynamically
- Establishing the daily cultural standard via focused morning kickoffs that reinforce performance expectations across campus
- Cultivating trusted mentorship with students and families by maintaining high standards, consistency, and formalized motivation tracking
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating lesson plans, building curriculum, or evaluating academic assignments. Alpha's instructional system manages those functions independently.
- Presenting to large groups of 30 students. Your focus is intensive coaching with individuals and small teams, not lecture-style instruction.
- Supervising other employees or pursuing advancement into administration. This position centers on direct influence with students, not organizational management.
- Attending faculty meetings or dealing with institutional red tape. Your schedule remains concentrated on student interaction.
- Compromising standards to meet targets. If a student achieves 99%, your task is to identify what prevented 100%.
Key responsibilities
Deliver outstanding student motivation, development, and life-skill proficiency at Alpha's most rigorous campuses.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree
- At least one demonstrated instance of exceptional performance in a highly competitive, internationally recognized field (examples: medals from national or international competitions, honors from a top-tier university, acceptance into a highly selective firm or fellowship, attendance at an elite performing arts institution, or founding and growing a successful enterprise)
- At least 3 years of experience in student coaching, youth mentorship, athletic coaching, or leadership positions where you demonstrably improved others' results
- Availability to work on-site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY; Orange County (Lake Forest), CA; San Francisco, CA; or Santa Barbara, CA
- Authorization to work legally in the United States
Nice to have
- History in elite competitive athletics (Division 1 varsity, national squad, or professional tier) with coaching or mentoring experience for younger athletes
- Professional experience in high-stakes environments such as management consulting, investment banking, or military command
- Demonstrated youth development through mentorship outside academic contexts (community groups, after-school initiatives, sports clinics)
- Confidence engaging with and earning credibility among high-expectation families investing in premium private education
