Description
- On-site in Houston, TX — campuses located in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary, disbursed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins on day one
The most meaningful act of support for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to decline to call it complete. If that expectation unsettles you, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's capacity—continue reading.
Alpha operates outside the traditional school model. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility is what technology cannot replicate: coaching students from Pre-K through 8th grade on essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and the exchange of feedback. Half of your day is spent facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative techniques. The remainder is dedicated to sitting with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress through Coachbot analytics within adaptive learning platforms, and challenging them to achieve 100% of their weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics.
During your first year, you will manage a cohort of students and become proficient in Alpha's operational framework: life skill workshops, motivational sessions, and mastery-based evaluation. As you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal attainment while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—a role in which you mentor other Guides while continuing direct student engagement. The highest performers in this role do not merely 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 eliminate traditional instruction in favor of focused developmental work, this is your opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for Pre-K through 8th grade students covering public speaking, focus, collaboration, and feedback exchange (project-based and hands-on)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions in which you analyze each student's adaptive learning app progress (via Coachbot analytics), establish goals, and challenge them to complete 100% of weekly targets
- Administering and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify that students have genuinely mastered each life skill, beyond mere participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from Pre-K learners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct communication and accountability
- Cultivating authentic relationships with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and moments of self-doubt
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or conventional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum from the ground up (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your role is to animate them with energy and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or school administrative tasks (Campus Leads manage those functions; you remain focused on students)
- Evaluating homework or overseeing standardized test preparation (neither exists in this environment)
- Operating independently (you are integrated into a campus team that includes Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort enjoys school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working 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 actions, and the result)
- Daily utilization of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve defined goals
- History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions that demanded sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without escalating your voice
- Experience re-engaging disengaged or resistant students and converting them into active contributors
