Description
- Austin, TX: on-site position, relocation assistance available
- $100,000/year W2 compensation, paid weekly
- Full-time: direct daily engagement with K-8 students
The most impactful thing you can do for a student isn't deliver a math lesson. It's help them believe they're capable of solving problems independently. If that difference resonates with you, if you've seen conventional classrooms extinguish the natural curiosity of bright children and thought "this system could work better," read on.
Alpha is a private school that has dismantled conventional teaching models. Students progress through academic content using adaptive learning software at their own speed, advancing up to 2x faster than traditional classroom peers. But technology doesn't cultivate resilience. It doesn't prepare a timid 7-year-old to present confidently in front of a group. That's where you come in. You'll dedicate half your time to facilitating one-hour life skills workshops where you guide students through public speaking, teamwork, concentration, and constructive feedback. The remaining half involves 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions where you develop genuine connections with students, establish challenging academic objectives, and ensure they meet those targets consistently.
This isn't a soft mentorship position. You'll measure concrete results: every student reaching their academic benchmarks, demonstrating mastery through life skills assessments, and providing satisfaction ratings of 90% or higher. The students who push back hardest often need your support most, and transforming a reluctant learner into one who actively wants to participate represents the most challenging and fulfilling aspect of this work.
Individuals who consistently produce student outcomes in this role advance to leadership positions, influencing how an entire campus approaches student coaching. If creating impact through daily execution interests you more than waiting for promotions, this 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 structured exercises and narrative techniques
- Conducting 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions where you establish objectives with students, monitor their academic app progress, and provide support when performance drops
- Adjusting your approach across diverse age groups: coaching strategies for a kindergartner differ completely from methods that challenge a 13-year-old
- Administering Test2Pass evaluations to verify students have genuinely mastered the life skills in your curriculum
- Reviewing student profiles, performance data, and coachbot analytics to understand precisely where each student stands prior to every interaction
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering academic instruction. Students master math, reading, and science through adaptive technology, not traditional teaching.
- Creating lesson plans independently. You'll implement an established life skills curriculum and instructional framework.
- Evaluating assignments, producing report cards, or preparing students for standardized examinations. Student mastery is verified through assessments you conduct, not administrative tasks.
- Working from a desk. This role requires standing, moving, and engaging face-to-face with students throughout the day.
Key responsibilities
Guide 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
- Track record of motivating or coaching K-8 students toward goals that went beyond baseline expectations, with at least one specific example you can walk through (the goal, what you did, the outcome)
- Willing to work in-person in Austin, TX (relocation support provided)
- Comfortable working in a non-traditional learning environment focused 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 athletics, competitive academic programs, or structured enrichment camps
- Background in behavioral motivation techniques like goal-setting frameworks, incentive systems, or accountability structures
- Track record of reaching disengaged or resistant young students and turning them around
- Experience facilitating group sessions for mixed-age audiences of children
