Traditional schools expect students to meet a bar. You'll push them past what they thought possible.

Students carry untapped potential they don't yet see in themselves. When faced with struggle, many adults ease up. You lean in. You understand that real confidence doesn't come from empty encouragement—it emerges when someone achieves what once seemed out of reach. If you've ever pushed a student, athlete, camper, or mentee to persist when they wanted to give up, this work will resonate.

Alpha has redesigned education with a core principle: AI excels at academic delivery, while exceptional people excel dents move through foundational academics via adaptive, AI-driven learning platforms. Your role is developing what technology cannot—ownership, grit, clarity, communication, focus, and the conviction that hard things matter. You won't fill your day writing lesson plans or grading assignments. Instead, you'll coach students through obstacles, acknowledge meaningful growth, and guide them toward accomplishments they once doubted.

Roughly 60% of your time involves facilitating dynamic, one-hour life skills sessions covering areas such as leadership, public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. About 30% is dedicated to individual and small-group coaching, leveraging Coachbot analytics to pinpoint students needing motivation, accountability, or adjusted tactics. The final 10% goes toward analyzing data, refining coaching methods, and setting students up for stronger performance ahead.

You'll begin with established workshop structures, then iterate and enhance them as you uncover more effective ways to engage.

Performance is measurable. At least 90% of your students should routinely meet weekly academic targets, show mastery of Alpha's life skills via Test2

Pass evaluations, and rate their experience with you at 4 out of 5 or higher. Sustain that benchmark and you'll advance to Lead Guide, mentoring fellow Guides, and ultimately to Campus Lead, where you'll define the ethos and outcomes of an entire campus.

This position is not designed for those who prefer to lecture, stick rigidly to syllabi, or occupy students with busywork. It's built for coaches, mentors, youth leaders, performers, tutors, and educators who define success by student transformation. Every finalist completes a full day of coaching live Alpha students before an offer is extended. If that feels more compelling than another standard interview, let’s connect.
