Keller (Fort Worth), TX

The Woodlands (Houston), TX

$150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.

Relocation support available

What You Will Be Doing

Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, following Alpha's playbook rather than improvising

Running motivation sessions using student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion

Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions

Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides

Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to spot underperformance before it compounds

What You Won’t Be Doing

Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through self-guided apps without an adult in the room.

Designing curriculum or building lesson plans from scratch. The playbook exists; the bar is fidelity of delivery, not originality.

Coaching Guides on teaching technique. Guides don't teach, so you're coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead.

Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100%. Holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there.

Being the "big ball of empathy" every school has. Kids get connection here, and they also get honest feedback and real consequences.

Counselor Key Responsibilities
Deliver Alpha's three promises to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
