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

The curriculum is already in place. The AI already handles the instruction. Your responsibility is to help a child see they're capable of something they previously believed was out of reach. Alpha students finish their academic coursework in only two hours per day through adaptive learning technology. That allows Guides to concentrate on the work that transforms lives: cultivating confidence, resilience, communication skills, and the drive to embrace difficult challenges. You'll guide a single K-3 cohort band- either Kindergarten-1st grade or 2nd-3rd grade. Half your time involves facilitating dynamic, one-hour workshops focused on life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and receiving feedback. The remaining half is dedicated to coaching students both individually and in small groups, leveraging learning analytics to ensure every child progresses toward ambitious weekly targets. Every moment counts. Students should emerge from your workshops more skilled than when they entered and finish your coaching sessions convinced they can accomplish more than they imagined. This position isn't designed for someone seeking to deliver curriculum or oversee a traditional classroom. It's for someone who enjoys motivating young children, embraces measurable results, and knows that the right coach can alter a child's path. If you've energized kids as a teacher, coach, camp counselor, youth leader, or performer, you'll discover a distinctly different kind of classroom environment here. This is a full-time, on-site position at one of Alpha's campuses. We conduct national recruitment, so job boards may list this opportunity in nearby cities without a campus. Current positions are available in La Jolla (San Diego), Orange County (Lake Forest), Los Angeles (South Bay, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Malibu), San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco, Palo Alto, Piedmont), Greenwich, CT, Boca Raton, Miami, Miami Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Chicago, Boston, New York City, and Kirkland (Seattle area). If you're interested in a different Alpha campus, submit your application anyway and indicate your preferred location—we'll evaluate you for the relevant opening. What You Will Be Doing Facilitate compelling life-skills workshops that enable K-3 students to develop communication, concentration, feedback reception, and other enduring skills through active engagement rather than traditional lectures. Provide coaching to students individually and in small groups, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation frameworks, and solid relationships to ensure every child remains on track for ambitious weekly learning targets. Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass framework, coaching students until they show genuine understanding—not merely attendance. Adjust your coaching approach to match the developmental requirements of your cohort, whether that involves songs, physical movement, and storytelling for younger learners or greater independence and responsibility for older students. Develop the types of relationships where students feel secure enough to push beyond what they believed they could accomplish. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering academic lessons from a whiteboard. Students complete academics through adaptive software. Creating curriculum from the ground up. You'll refine and customize proven playbooks rather than designing lessons. Observing students work quietly on computers. Your function is active coaching, motivation, and engagement. Reducing expectations when students face difficulties. Success emerges from guiding students to meet the goal, not adjusting the goal downward. Overseeing homework, grading assignments, or handling standard parent communication.
