Academic Advisor, gt.school; Remote

You've tested your own potential—whether in athletics, the arts, or professional settings. Now it's time to channel that drive into meaningful impact. In this role at GT Anywhere, you'll mentor students toward a radical outcome: they'll embrace learning, accelerate their progress, and develop into self‑reliant, confident individuals. You'll do this work from wherever you choose to be.

GT Anywhere is a virtual school designed for gifted learners ready to move faster. We combine AI‑driven instruction with personalized coaching to deliver what conventional schooling cannot: unbounded learning speed, deep engagement across sciences and humanities, and connection with like‑minded peers.

As an Academic Advisor, your focus will be 3rd–8th graders eager to advance quickly. You won't be delivering content—our platform does that. Instead, you're the mentor who cultivates confidence, maintains high standards, and unlocks what students didn't know they could achieve. Each conversation is important. Each moment of progress matters.

If you've achieved excellence in any domain—athletics, performance, research, or enterprise—and want to empower the next wave of high achievers, this position is built for you.

• Conducting biweekly one‑on‑one virtual coaching sessions with each student, centered on academic planning, motivation, and growth mindset
• Hosting open office hours where students can drop in for immediate guidance, encouragement, or problem‑solving
