Counselor, Alpha - $100,000​/year USD

The most compassionate response to a student who reaches 99% of their weekly target is to insist they finish the job. Not because you lack empathy, but because you know they are capable of meeting the standard, and accepting less does them no favors.

You will not be teaching academics. At Alpha, students complete their academic work through AI-driven adaptive learning platforms. No classroom instruction. No printed curriculum. No traditional teaching. Motivation and life skills—the elements conventional schools treat as secondary—become the core of your role here.

Consider a typical Tuesday. Half your time is spent facilitating one-hour workshops for K-8 cohorts on topics like public speaking, focus, and how to offer and accept constructive feedback. The remainder is dedicated to sitting with those same students individually or in small groups, reviewing their Coachbot data, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app targets, using school currency, leaderboards, and the trust you ve built to overcome obstacles.

Your quarterly performance hinges on three metrics: every student in your cohort completes their weekly app goals, every student passes the Test2

Pass mastery check for each workshop, and 90% or more report they love working with you. Fall short on any one, and you ve missed the mark.

The reward comes the day a student who spent September convinced they couldn t do math asks you to increase their goal.

If you have coached youth sports, led a cabin at camp, or tutored a child who wanted to quit, the final step before an offer is a full day on campus coaching real Alpha students. If that day excites you most, apply today.
