Learning Coach, Alpha

The curriculum is already designed. The AI already delivers the instruction. Your role is to help a child believe they're capable of something they once thought impossible.

Alpha students complete their academic requirements in just two hours daily through adaptive learning technology. This structure allows Guides to concentrate on life-changing work: cultivating confidence, resilience, communication skills, and the drive to embrace difficult challenges.

You won't find yourself delivering lessons from the front of a room. Instead, you'll coach students through obstacles, acknowledge their victories, and demonstrate what rigorous standards look like when combined with authentic support.

You’ll oversee one K-3 cohort band—Kindergarten-1st grade or 2nd-3rd grade. Half your time is dedicated to facilitating dynamic, one-hour workshops focused on life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and receiving feedback. The remaining half involves coaching students both individually and in small groups, leveraging learning analytics to ensure every child progresses toward challenging weekly objectives. Every moment counts. Students should emerge from your workshops more skilled than when they entered and finish your coaching sessions believing they can accomplish more than they previously imagined.

This position isn't designed for someone seeking to deliver curriculum or oversee a traditional classroom. It's intended for someone who enjoys motivating young children, excels with measurable results, and trusts that the right coach can transform a child's future. If you've motivated kids as an educator, coach, camp counselor, youth leader, or performer, you'll discover a distinctly different type of classroom environment here.

This is a full-time, on-site position at one of Alpha's campuses. We recruit nationally, so job boards may list this opportunity in nearby cities that do not have a campus.

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that guide K-3 students in mastering communication, concentration, feedback, and other enduring skills through active engagement rather than passive listening.

  Pass framework, coaching students until they exhibit genuine mastery—not merely participation.
• Adjust your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, whether that involves songs, movement, and narratives for younger learners or greater independence and responsibility for older students.
• Cultivate relationships where students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond what they believed they could accomplish.

• Presenting academic lessons at a whiteboard. Students complete academics through adaptive software.
• Developing curriculum from the ground up. You'll refine and personalize established playbooks rather than creating lessons.
• Observing students work quietly on computers. Your role involves active coaching, motivation, and engagement.
• Reducing expectations when students encounter difficulties. Success involves helping students meet the standard, not adjusting the standard downward.
• Overseeing homework, grading assignments, or handling routine parent communication.
