Student Learning Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

$120,000 annual W2 salary with weekly pay; comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one. On‑site position at an Alpha K‑8 school in Beverly Hills, CA; La Jolla (San Diego), CA; Palo Alto, CA; Piedmont, CA; South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Fort Loyall, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; Raleigh, NC; Portland, OR (relocation assistance available). This role is not about teaching. It is about motivation. The most powerful way to support a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that principle feels uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it resonates because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential, continue reading. At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-driven applications. There are no lectures or textbooks. Approximately 60% of your time is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and constructive feedback. Around 30% involves sitting with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each toward their weekly app targets. The remaining 10% is dedicated to data analysis that informs your coaching strategy for the week ahead. You will not follow a rigid script; workshops serve as a foundation, and top performers in this role customize them and create new content when needs arise. A successful semester means at least 90% of students in your cohort achieve their weekly app goals, demonstrate measurable life‑skill improvement on Test2Pass, and provide a rating of 4/5 or higher for their experience with you. Falling short on any of these three metrics means the role has not been fulfilled. As you demonstrate your ability to maintain standards, opportunities open to advance to Lead Guide — mentoring newer Guides while continuing to lead a cohort — and eventually to Campus Lead, where you oversee an entire school and manage parent engagement. If you are drawn to conventional teaching, prefer ready‑made curricula, or see warmth and rigorous expectations as incompatible, this position is not suitable. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp counseling, tutoring where you refused to let students give up, or performing for rooms full of pre‑teens, the final step before receiving an offer is spending a full day on campus coaching actual Alpha students. If that prospect excites you most, submit your application today. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 cohorts addressing public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other essential skills, customizing the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify unmet needs. Conducting daily individual and small‑group motivation sessions that drive every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal connection with each student to overcome resistance. Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery‑based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not achieve passing scores until they succeed. Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing candid conversations and clear accountability. Analyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on data insights. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is managed by the apps, not by you. Creating an entire curriculum from scratch; you begin with an established playbook and infuse it with your personality and narrative skills. Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this environment is hands‑on, individual, and persistent. Working through bureaucratic processes to secure resources for students in need; if a student requires additional coaching time, you decide and implement immediately. Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage parent communication, and the other tasks do not exist in this model.
