Academic Coach, Alpha

Position Overview

On‑site in Houston, TX—campuses in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available). $100,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one.

The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their objective is to decline calling it complete. If that expectation unsettles you, this position will not be a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student’s capacity to exceed them, continue reading.

Alpha operates outside the traditional school model. Students complete a full academic day’s work in approximately two hours using adaptive technology. No classroom lectures. No physical textbooks. Your responsibility centers on what technology cannot accomplish: guiding Pre‑K through 8th grade students in essential competencies including public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You will spend half your time facilitating experiential workshops following structured curriculum frameworks and narrative teaching methods.

The remaining time is devoted to individual and small‑group sessions where you examine student advancement in adaptive platforms via Coachbot analytics and ensure they achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is validated through Test2

Pass evaluations, not attendance or effort metrics.
