Description
- Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico (on-site) | Compensation: $100,000/year | Full-time: 40 hours/week
If you prefer a calm environment with predetermined lesson plans, this isn't the right fit. This position requires someone who can take charge of a room with 10–15 young children, maintain high energy levels, and enforce rigorous standards. You will provide real-time coaching on behavior, attention, and task completion, and you will demand mastery rather than settling for mere participation.
Alpha is an AI-powered private school founded on a straightforward premise: children can achieve mastery of core academics more quickly through adaptive learning applications, freeing up the remainder of their day to develop critical life skills that genuinely shape their trajectory. Your responsibility is to execute this model for a K–3 cohort. As a Guide, you oversee one cohort band — either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd) — and adjust your approach, tempo, and workshop content to suit that band. You will facilitate practical life skills workshops (including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange) and propel daily advancement within learning apps through Coachbot analytics, explicit benchmarks, and reliable motivation frameworks.
This role demands high accountability. Success metrics are unambiguous: 2x academic progress per semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and students who demonstrate life-skill proficiency via Test2Pass. If you're prepared to coach with intensity, accuracy, and firm belief, we're interested in speaking with you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate one-hour, experiential life skills workshops leveraging narrative techniques, rhythm, and hands-on practice to enable students to pass Test2Pass
- Leverage Coachbot analytics to identify obstacles early, establish daily and weekly benchmarks, and ensure every student maintains pace in adaptive learning applications
- Conduct group check-ins that reinforce objectives, acknowledge achievements, and identify issues before they result in unmet targets
- Deploy motivation frameworks (school currency, leaderboards, reward systems) to produce measurable behavioral improvements in focus, perseverance, and productivity
- Address student challenges or disengagement immediately, coaching problem-solving skills and self-correction as issues arise
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing traditional academic lectures or one-on-one tutoring as the main instructional method
- Serving as a passive monitor while children work on devices and assuming progress will occur
- Adjusting weekly objectives downward to artificially improve metrics
- Facilitating workshops where students attend but fail to show mastery upon completion
Key responsibilities
This role ensures that a K–3 cohort reliably achieves 2x academic progress per semester while sustaining 90%+ student satisfaction and confirmed life-skill proficiency.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- Full fluency in English
- 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
