Description
- Based at Alpha School's Dorado, Puerto Rico campus (on-site position)
- $100,000 annual salary ($50/hour, 40 hours/week), with weekly pay
- Teaching certification not required; Spanish fluency beneficial
The most meaningful support you can offer a student at 99% completion is to refuse to accept it as finished. If this standard creates discomfort, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you because maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in their capability, read on.
Alpha School operates under a 2 Hour Learning framework: students in grades K-8 complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours via adaptive learning applications. There are no lectures. There are no textbooks. Your role covers what software cannot — developing life skills such as public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and the ability to give and receive constructive feedback.
Approximately 60% of your time will be dedicated to individual motivation: reviewing learning app dashboards and Coachbot data, identifying where an eight-year-old struggles with fractions or a fifth grader resists reading, then helping them overcome those obstacles. The remaining 40% involves facilitating interactive, hour-long sessions that resemble improv practice more than traditional classroom instruction. Students must demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass assessments before progressing.
This position offers growth. In your first year, you'll manage a small cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology. Demonstrate you can guide every student to achieve 100% of their objectives while maintaining high satisfaction ratings, and advancement becomes possible — first to Lead Guide, then Campus Lead (responsible for an entire school). You'll witness a child who struggled with eye contact in September confidently present to a room full of parents by spring.
Apply if you believe thirty children sitting in rows listening to a single adult fails to honor their true potential.
What you will be doing
- Guiding K-8 students individually and in small groups through adaptive learning platforms, leveraging Coachbot analytics and dashboards to identify learning blocks and their root causes
- Implementing Alpha's motivation system (leaderboards, rewards, weekly goal-setting) to ensure every student progresses at the required rate
- Facilitating hour-long, experiential life-skills sessions covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback exchange (project-driven and interactive, never lecture-based)
- Overseeing Test2Pass mastery evaluations and upholding standards: students advance only after proving genuine comprehension
- Establishing trust with students so rigorous accountability feels empowering rather than discouraging
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic content (core subjects are learned through adaptive apps, not instructor-led lessons)
- Creating original lesson plans — Alpha supplies curriculum and playbooks; your role is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Grading homework assignments or preparing students for standardized exams; these elements don't exist in this model
- Handling parent communications or operational tasks — Campus Leads manage those responsibilities, allowing you to concentrate on your cohort
- Providing passive supervision while students work on laptops; active coaching is essential to 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 on-site at Alpha's Dorado, Puerto Rico campus
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- 3+ years of direct, hands-on experience 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
- Authorization to work in the United States or Puerto Rico without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish to strengthen connections 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 initiatives)
- Track record facilitating youth workshops, summer camps, or after-school initiatives where you created activities, not merely oversaw them
- Experience with adaptive or app-based educational platforms (e.g., Khan Academy, IXL, DreamBox)
