Job Description & How to Apply Below

You believe that holding students to the highest possible standard is the most generous thing you can do. You've achieved something exceptional in a field where most only observe from the sidelines: competitive athletics at the elite level, distinguished performance at a top university, acceptance into a highly selective organization, or a company you launched and grew yourself. Now imagine channeling that same rigor into a space full of K-12 learners who have never encountered someone like you—someone determined to push them toward benchmarks they never imagined reaching.

If the idea of maintaining elite expectations feels uncomfortable, this isn't for you.
Alpha leverages AI-driven 1-on-1 instruction to help students complete their core academic work in roughly two hours each day. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, passion projects, and meaningful personal development. At Alpha's most rigorous campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor whose personal track record speaks for itself: someone capable of setting the tone, interpreting group dynamics, and guiding them through resistance, distraction, and moments of doubt.
You won't be teaching content. AI delivers the academic instruction.

Your role is to inspire, challenge, and hold students to the same exacting standard you've applied to yourself. Forty percent of your time is spent in direct 1-on-1 and small-group coaching, identifying obstacles and establishing stretch goals. Another forty percent involves facilitating structured life-skills workshops designed for real mastery, not passive engagement. The final twenty percent is dedicated to morning kickoffs that set a daily tone where excellence is non-negotiable.
The trajectory here emphasizes depth over hierarchy. You'll begin by mastering Alpha's methodology and earning the trust of your students. Within a few months, you become the adult they rely on to challenge them beyond their perceived limits. The payoff isn't a title change. It's continuity—the same students, year after year, maturing with you as their advocate. It's witnessing a shy ninth-grader in September deliver a poised presentation to a room of adults by May.
This position remains focused on students. They are the purpose, not a milestone on the way to something else. If you're considering leaving your current role because of mission alignment, not résumé building, submit your application today.

What You Will Be Doing
  • Conducting 1-on-1 and small-group coaching using Coachbot analytics and live student data to identify performance barriers, establish ambitious targets, and ensure accountability
  • Facilitating structured life-skills workshops centered on mastery, drawing on your own high-level experience for credibility, and validating learning through Alpha's Test2

    Pass framework
  • Establishing daily expectations through focused morning kickoffs that reinforce a campus-wide culture of high performance
  • Monitoring student outcomes continuously and refining coaching approaches based on evidence rather than intuition
  • Cultivating trusted relationships with students and their families by maintaining high standards, demonstrating consistency, and documenting individualized motivation strategies
What You Won’t Be Doing
  • Delivering academic lessons, creating curriculum, or evaluating assignments—Alpha's AI platform manages instruction; you manage motivation
  • Presenting to large classroom groups of 30 students (your focus is high-impact coaching in intimate settings, not one-to-many lectures)
  • Supervising additional staff or pursuing advancement through administrative channels (this position centers on direct student outcomes, not organizational management)
  • Participating in lengthy faculty meetings or dealing with institutional red tape (your schedule prioritizes student interaction)
  • Compromising standards to satisfy performance indicators (if a student reaches 99%, your responsibility is understanding what prevented 100%)
