Life Coach

"Alpha is the future of education. That's not hyperbole: on average, Alpha students grow 2.6 times faster than peers on nationally normed MAP tests." Alpha is hiring. You have done hard things. You have lived inside real standards. You know the difference between “trying” and performing. If you want to put that edge to work where it changes a young person’s trajectory, this role is built for you. Alpha School uses AI-powered 1:1 learning so students can master core academics in about two hours a day. That frees the rest of the day for life skills, passion-driven work, and real growth. At our highest-expectation campuses, students need more than supervision. They need a trusted mentor who can read the room, set the tone, and coach them through resistance, distraction, and self-doubt. This is not a traditional teaching job. You will not lecture, grade, or write curriculum. You will coach. You will run rigorous life-skills workshops. You will use data to diagnose what is holding a student back, then push with care and clarity until they follow through. If you have an elite marker and a track record of raising other people’s performance, we want to meet you.
