On‑site role at an Alpha campus located in Phoenix, AZ;
Oklahoma City, OK;
Tulsa, OK;
Nashville, TN;
Austin, TX;
Fort Worth, TX;
Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT. Relocation assistance available.

You are not here to teach. You are here to motivate. The most impactful thing you can do for a six‑year‑old who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it’s not finished.

• Facilitate one‑hour life‑skills workshops for groups of 10‑15 K‑3 students covering public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange, and other foundational competencies.
• Conduct daily 1:1 and small‑group coaching sessions to maintain momentum toward weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics and Alpha’s reward structures.
• Deliver the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha’s mastery assessment) for every life skill, and coach students who do not pass on their first attempt until they achieve mastery.
• Engage kindergarteners with songs, storytelling, physical activity, and humor while maintaining rigorous, trackable expectations for second and third graders.
• Serve as the warm, trusted adult children are excited to see at morning arrival and the adult who won’t allow them to settle for less than their best.

• Deliver whiteboard lectures; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you.
• Develop curriculum from the ground up;
  Alpha supplies the operational framework and you animate it.
• Passively monitor kids on computers; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and persistent.
• Adjust a weekly target downward so a child can meet it; when a student falls behind, the solution is to support the student, not lower the bar.
• Grade assignments, facilitate standardized test preparation, or handle parent outreach;
  Campus Leads manage parent communication, and the rest simply doesn’t exist in this model.

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

• Willing to work on‑site at one of Alpha’s campuses in Phoenix, AZ;
  Oklahoma City, OK;
  Tulsa, OK;
  Nashville, TN;
  Austin, TX;
  Fort Worth, TX;
  Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation support provided).
• Bachelor’s degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years of direct experience working with children ages 4 to 9 (early‑elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership).
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a young child toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result.
• Able to attend a paid training program at our Austin, TX campus.
• Willingness to allow AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life‑skills coaching.
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.

• Background in youth sports coaching, children’s theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after‑school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating young children toward defined objectives.
• Personal track record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional) such that holding others to rigorous standards is an ingrained behavior, not a learned stance.
• Natural performer’s energy with young children—the capacity to captivate a room of kindergarteners using voice, playfulness, and physical presence.
• Demonstrated success transforming hesitant or reluctant young children into engaged, confident contributors.

This is a full‑time (40 hours per week) position. The compensation level for this role is $50 USD/hour, which equates to $100,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year.

The position requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record.
