You are not here to teach. Your role is 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 expectation troubles you, this role is not the right fit. If it energizes you - because maintaining high standards is how you signal your belief in a student's capacity - then continue reading.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-powered applications. There are no lectures or textbooks. Approximately 60% of your time is spent facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops covering topics like public speaking, focus, and constructive feedback. Around 30% of your time involves meeting with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each one toward their weekly app targets.

The remaining 10% is dedicated to data analysis that informs your coaching strategy for the week ahead. You will not be following a fixed script; workshops provide a framework, and top performers in this role customize them and create new sessions as needed.

A successful semester means at least 90% of your cohort achieves their weekly app goals, demonstrates measurable improvement in life skills on Test2

Pass, and rates their experience with you at 4 out of 5 or higher. Falling short on any of these three metrics means the role has not been fulfilled. As you demonstrate your ability to uphold these standards, opportunities open to advance to Lead Guide - where you mentor newer Guides while continuing to lead a cohort and eventually to Campus Lead, where you manage an entire school and oversee parent engagement.

If you prefer traditional teaching methods, expect a pre-built curriculum, or see warmth and rigor as incompatible, this position is not for you. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp counseling, tutoring students who needed persistent encouragement, or performing in front of middle schoolers, the final interview stage is a full day on campus working directly with Alpha students.

• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions to drive every student toward their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your rapport with each student to overcome resistance

• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the next week based on the data insights

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is embedded in the apps, not delivered by you
