Description
- On-site at one of three Houston-area locations: Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- Annual compensation of $100,000, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately
When a student reaches 99% of their target, the most meaningful support you can offer is to hold them accountable for the final 1%. If that principle feels rigid or uncomfortable, this position will not align with your values. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capacity—continue reading.
Alpha operates outside conventional schooling models. Students complete a full academic day in approximately two hours using adaptive learning platforms. There are no traditional lectures or textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding students from Pre-K through 8th grade in essential life competencies such as public speaking, sustained attention, and constructive feedback exchange. You will dedicate half of each day to facilitating structured, hands-on workshops using established curricula and narrative techniques. The remaining time is spent in individual or small-group sessions where you analyze student progress through Coachbot analytics, set expectations, and ensure they achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is validated through Test2Pass evaluations, not subjective participation metrics.
During your first year, you will take ownership of a student cohort and internalize Alpha's operational framework: life skills facilitation, one-on-one motivation coaching, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you consistently hold every student to full goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available. In that capacity, you mentor fellow Guides while remaining actively engaged with students. Top performers in this role do more than transform individual trajectories—they influence the operational culture of an entire campus.
If you have years of experience coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have longed to step away from traditional instruction to focus purely on developmental support, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating hour-long life skills workshops for Pre-K through 8th grade students, covering topics including public speaking, sustained focus, teamwork, and constructive feedback (activity-driven and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions in which you assess each student's performance in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and ensure they reach 100% of weekly benchmarks
- Overseeing and scoring Test2Pass evaluations to verify authentic mastery of life skills, beyond mere attendance or effort
- Tailoring your approach across diverse developmental stages, from Pre-K learners requiring dynamic, kinetic engagement to 8th graders needing candid dialogue and personal accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student to establish the trust required for effective coaching through moments of resistance, distraction, or self-doubt
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing traditional lectures or direct academic instruction (core subject learning occurs through adaptive technology, independent of your involvement)
- Developing original lesson plans or curricula (Alpha supplies structured life skills frameworks; your role is to execute them with engagement and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads oversee those areas, allowing you to concentrate on student development)
- Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements are not part of the Alpha model)
- Operating independently (you collaborate within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your assigned cohort develops a genuine enthusiasm for learning, achieves mastery in critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum of 3 years working directly with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership capacities)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your specific actions, and the measurable outcome)
- Regular, active use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands location (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp direction, or after-school programming where you held direct accountability for guiding children toward measurable goals
- History of personal excellence (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions demanding consistent high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of middle schoolers for an extended period without resorting to volume or authority
- Proven success re-engaging reluctant or disengaged students and converting them into active, motivated learners
