The greatest impact you can make on a student isn't delivering a math lesson. It's helping them believe they're capable of mastering math independently. If that difference resonates with you, if you've seen conventional classrooms sap the natural curiosity from bright children and thought "a better approach must exist," continue reading.
Alpha is a private school that has dismantled conventional teaching methods. Students progress through academic content via adaptive learning software at individualized speeds, advancing up to 2x faster than traditional peers. But technology alone doesn't cultivate resilience. It doesn't prepare a reserved 7-year-old to present confidently before an audience. That's where you come in. Half your day involves facilitating one-hour life skills workshops where you guide students through public speaking, teamwork, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. The remaining half consists of 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions where you establish genuine connections with students, define challenging academic objectives, and ensure they meet those targets consistently.
This role is not about informal mentorship. You'll monitor concrete metrics: every student achieving their academic benchmarks, demonstrating mastery on life skills assessments, and providing satisfaction ratings of 90% or higher. The students offering the greatest resistance are often those requiring your support most urgently, and transforming a disengaged child into one who actively wants to participate represents both the most challenging and most fulfilling aspect of this position.
Individuals who consistently produce strong student results here advance into leadership positions, developing others and influencing how an entire campus approaches student coaching. If contributing from the ground level interests you more than awaiting a promotional title, this opportunity is your starting point. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 student groups, guiding public speaking, teamwork, focus, and feedback skills through organized activities and narrative techniques
- Conducting 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions where you establish objectives with students, monitor their academic app progress, and step in when performance declines
- Adjusting your approach across diverse age groups: coaching strategies for a kindergartner differ fundamentally from those for a 13-year-old
- Delivering Test2Pass assessments to verify students have genuinely mastered the life skills curriculum
- Leveraging student profiles, performance data, and coachbot analytics to maintain precise awareness of each student's status before every interaction
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering academic instruction. Students master math, reading, and science through adaptive software, not traditional lectures.
- Creating lesson plans independently. You'll utilize an established life skills curriculum and implementation guide.
- Evaluating assignments, handling report cards, or preparing students for standardized testing. Student proficiency is confirmed through assessments you conduct, not administrative tasks.
- Working from a desk. This position requires active presence, standing and engaging with students face-to-face throughout the day.
Key responsibilities
Lead a cohort of K-8 students to achieve life skills mastery and reach ambitious academic objectives.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any subject
- 3+ years of experience working directly with K-8 students
- Demonstrated history of motivating or coaching K-8 students toward goals exceeding baseline expectations, with at least one specific example you can discuss in detail (the objective, your approach, the result)
- Willing to work in-person in Austin, TX (relocation support provided)
- Comfortable operating in a non-traditional learning environment centered on motivation and engagement, not instruction
- Legal right to work in the US without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience coaching or mentoring in youth sports, competitive academic programs, or organized enrichment camps
- Knowledge of behavioral motivation approaches such as goal-setting frameworks, incentive systems, or accountability structures
- Proven ability to connect with disengaged or resistant young students and successfully turning their attitudes around
- Experience leading group sessions for mixed-age groups of children
