Description
- On-site position at Alpha School's campus in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- $100,000 annually ($50/hour for 40 hours/week), with weekly pay
- Teaching certification not required; Spanish fluency is a plus
The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it isn't finished. If that principle unsettles you, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential, continue reading.
Alpha School operates on a 2 Hour Learning framework: students in grades K-8 complete a full day's worth of academic content in approximately two hours using adaptive learning applications. No lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role covers what the software cannot — developing students' life skills such as public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and constructive feedback exchange.
Sixty percent of your time will be dedicated to individual motivation: reviewing learning app dashboards and Coachbot analytics, identifying where an 8-year-old struggles with fractions or a fifth grader resists reading, and resolving those obstacles. The remaining 40% involves facilitating interactive, hour-long workshops that resemble improv practice more than conventional classes. All students must demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass assessments before progressing.
This position offers growth. You'll manage a small cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology during your first year. Demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% of their objectives while maintaining strong satisfaction metrics, and advancement opportunities emerge — first to Lead Guide, then Campus Lead (overseeing an entire school). You'll witness a student who avoided eye contact in September confidently present to a room full of parents by spring.
Apply if you believe that 30 children seated in rows listening to one adult fails to honor what children are capable of achieving.
What you will be doing
- Providing one-on-one and small-group coaching to K-8 students through adaptive learning applications, using Coachbot analytics and dashboards to identify who is struggling and why
- Implementing Alpha's motivational framework (leaderboards, incentive systems, weekly goal-setting) to ensure every student progresses at the expected rate
- Facilitating hour-long, interactive life-skills workshops focused on public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback exchange (project-driven and participatory, never lecture-based)
- Overseeing Test2Pass mastery assessments and maintaining standards: students advance only after demonstrating genuine understanding
- Establishing trust with students so that rigorous accountability feels inspiring rather than discouraging
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive apps, not direct teaching from you)
- Creating lesson plans independently — Alpha supplies the curriculum and frameworks; you execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Grading homework or preparing students for standardized exams; these elements don't exist in this model
- Handling parent communications or school operations — Campus Leads manage those areas, allowing you to concentrate on your cohort
- Passively monitoring students on laptops; active coaching is essential to fulfilling this role
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% of their academic and life-skills objectives.
Candidate requirements
- Available to work in-person 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
- Demonstrated record of high personal achievement in academic, athletic, or professional contexts
- Legal authorization to work in the United States or Puerto Rico without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish to establish rapport with students and families in the Dorado area
- Background in coaching environments where elevated standards produced quantifiable results (competitive athletics, debate, performing arts, or selective youth programs)
- Experience leading youth workshops, summer camps, or after-school programs where you created the activities rather than simply supervising
- Knowledge of adaptive or app-based learning systems (e.g., Khan Academy, IXL, DreamBox)
