You are here to motivate.The most powerful way to support a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that principle unsettles you, this role is not the right fit. If it energizes you—because you know that holding a high standard is the clearest way to communicate belief in a student's potential—then read on.At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-driven applications. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Approximately 60% of your time will be spent facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops covering topics like public speaking, focus, and constructive feedback exchange. Around 30% of your time will involve sitting with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each student toward their weekly application goals. The remaining 10% is dedicated to data analysis that informs your coaching strategy for the week ahead. You will not follow a rigid script; workshops provide a framework, and the most effective coaches customize them and create new content when needed.Success in a semester is defined by at least 90% of your cohort meeting their weekly app goals, demonstrating measurable life-skill improvement on Test2Pass, and rating their experience with you at 4 out of 5 or higher. Falling short on any one of these three metrics means the role has not been fulfilled. Once you demonstrate your ability to maintain high standards, advancement opportunities open to Lead Guide—mentoring newer Guides while continuing to run your own cohort—and eventually to Campus Lead, where you oversee an entire school and manage parent engagement.If you are drawn to conventional teaching, prefer a pre-built curriculum, or think warmth and rigor cannot coexist, this role will not suit you. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp counseling, tutoring where you refused to let a student give up, or performing in front of middle schoolers, the final stage before an offer is a full day on campus coaching actual Alpha students.What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other enduring competencies, customizing the framework and creating new sessions when you identify a needConducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive each student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your individual rapport with each student to overcome reluctanceAdministering Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based assessment) for each life skill, and coaching students who fall short until they achieve masteryAdjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing candid conversations and accountabilityAnalyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on the dataWhat You Won't Be Doing Delivering content at a whiteboard; academic instruction is embedded in the apps, not delivered by youCreating a full curriculum from scratch; you begin with an established playbook and customize it with your own style and narrative approachPassively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this context is hands-on, personal, and persistentWorking through bureaucratic channels to secure resources for students in need; if a student requires additional coaching time, you decide and act immediatelyGrading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not apply hereStudent Learning Coach Key Responsibilities Ensure that every student in your K-8 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, masters each life skill, and finishes the year with the conviction that you made a meaningful impact on them.Basic Requirements Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Beverly Hills, CA; Piedmont, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; Raleigh, NC; Portland, OR (relocation assistance provided)Bachelor's degree in any fieldA minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the resultComfort with AI managing instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coachingAuthorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorshipNice-to-have Requirements Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theatre, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectivesPersonal track record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), demonstrating that holding others to rigorous standards is intrinsic, not performativeNarrative ability and stage presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voiceProven ability to transform disengaged or resistant students into active, motivated learnersAbout Alpha Join the team building school around student growth Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real-world skills.Roles with real student impact: Alpha hires teachers (guides), operators, admissions experts, school & curriculum leaders, and remote team members.Education work that pays like it matters: Alpha offers six-figure roles for people ready to help build a radically better school experience.A culture built for builders: Alpha is fast-moving, ambitious, and student focused.
