Student Success Coach

$120,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($60 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-3 cohorts on public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills, customizing the playbook to fit your group rather than following it verbatim.
• Conducting daily 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions to ensure every student stays on track for weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the trust you've built with each child.
• Delivering the Test2Pass, Alpha's mastery-based assessment, for each life skill and coaching students who don't pass until they achieve mastery.
• Meeting kindergarteners at their developmental level with songs, stories, movement, and playfulness while holding second and third graders to real, quantifiable expectations.
• Being the warm adult kids are excited to see at drop-off AND the one who won't let them settle for less than their best.

• Delivering whiteboard lessons. Academic instruction happens through the apps, not through you.
• Creating curriculum from the ground up. Alpha supplies the playbook; you animate it.
• Passively monitoring kids on computers. Motivation here is proactive, personalized, and sustained.
• Adjusting a weekly goal downward so a child can meet it. If a student is falling behind, the solution is supporting the student, not lowering the target.
• Grading homework, running standardized test prep, or handling parent communication. Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks don't exist here.

Ensure every student in your K-3 cohort completes their weekly learning goals, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting that they loved you.

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, or South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, Miami, Miami Beach, or Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; or Boston, MA (relocation support provided).
• Bachelor's degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4 to 9 (early-elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership).
• A specific example you can describe of motivating a young child to a hard goal: the goal, what you did, and the outcome.
• Willingness to let AI handle the instructional content while you focus on motivation and life-skills coaching.
• Willingness to hold high standards with students even when they push back.
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.

• Experience in youth athletics coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you were directly responsible for motivating young kids toward specific goals.
• Personal history of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to a hard bar is a pattern, not a posture.
• Natural performer's presence with little kids: the ability to hold a room of kindergarteners through voice, silliness, and movement.
• Track record of turning shy or resistant little kids into confident, active participants.
