Description
"All of my students came back in the top 1% for growth and achievement on their MAP scores."
— Sam DePalo, Lead Guide, Alpha Fort Worth Texas
Alpha is hiring.
- Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico (on-site) | Compensation: $100,000/year | Full-time: 40 hours/week
If you want a quiet classroom and a script to follow, stop here. This role is for someone who can command a room of 10–15 young kids, keep energy high, and hold a hard line on standards. You will coach behavior, focus, and follow-through in real time, and you will expect mastery, not participation trophies.
Alpha is an AI-powered private school built around a simple idea: kids can master core academics faster with adaptive learning apps, then use the rest of the day to build the life skills that actually change their future. Your job as a Youth Success Coach is to make that model work for a K–3 cohort. You lead one cohort band — either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd) — and tailor your energy, pacing, and workshops to that band. You will run hands-on life skills workshops (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) and drive daily progress inside the learning apps using Coachbot analytics, clear targets, and consistent motivation systems.
This is high-accountability work. The scoreboard is clear: 2x academic progress each semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and students who can prove life-skill mastery through Test2Pass. If you’re ready to coach with energy, precision, and conviction, we want to meet you.
What you will be doing
- Run one-hour, hands-on life skills workshops using storytelling, pacing, and active practice so students can pass Test2Pass
- Use Coachbot analytics to spot blockers early, set daily and weekly targets, and keep every student on pace in adaptive learning apps
- Lead group check-ins that reinforce goals, celebrate wins, and surface problems before they turn into missed targets
- Apply motivation systems (school currency, leaderboards, incentives) to drive visible behavior change in focus, persistence, and output
- Intervene immediately when students are stuck or off-task, coaching problem-solving and self-correction in the moment
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering academic lectures or tutoring as the primary source of instruction
- Passively supervising kids on devices while hoping progress happens
- Lowering weekly goals to make the numbers look good
- Running workshops where students “participate” but cannot demonstrate mastery afterward
Key responsibilities
This role exists so a K–3 cohort consistently delivers 2x academic progress each semester while maintaining 90%+ student satisfaction and verified life-skill mastery.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in any field
- Fluent English to speak clearly with students and families throughout the school day
- At least intermediate Spanish proficiency to manage behavior, give directions, and communicate with families
- 3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–9 in high-energy, high-engagement settings (classroom, camp, coaching, or afterschool programs)
- Experience actively managing and engaging groups of 10–15+ young children (not supervision-only)
- Exposure to structured goal-setting or progress targets with children
- Track record of receiving performance feedback and applying it
- Willing to work in person in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience running structured workshops that include an assessment or performance check
- Experience using data or learning analytics to drive student progress (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
- Direct experience with incentive systems such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth setting
