Tutor, Alpha - $100,000​/year USD

The most meaningful support you can offer a student sitting at 99% of their weekly target is to hold the line. Not out of indifference, but because you know they can reach 100%, and accepting less would be the actual disservice.

You are not a traditional teacher. At Alpha, academic content is delivered through AI-powered adaptive learning platforms. There are no lectures, no textbooks, no whiteboard instruction. Motivation and life skills—elements that conventional schools treat as secondary—are your entire focus.

Consider a typical Tuesday. Half your day is spent facilitating one-hour workshops for a K-8 cohort, covering topics like public speaking, focus strategies, and how to give and receive meaningful feedback. The other half is dedicated to working with those same students individually or in small groups, reviewing their Coachbot analytics, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app goals through school currency, leaderboards, and the trust you’ve established with them.

Your success each quarter is measured by three metrics: every student in your cohort completes their weekly app goals, every student passes the Test2

Pass mastery assessment for each workshop, and 90% or more report that they love you. Falling short on any one of these means the role hasn’t been fulfilled.

The reward comes the day a student who claimed in September that they were terrible at math asks you to increase their target.
