Full‑time (40 hours per week), long‑term position. Requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. Base compensation is $50 USD/hour, equivalent to $100,000 annually, paid weekly.

What You Will Be Doing

Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 cohorts, covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational competencies - modifying the standard playbook and creating new sessions when you identify content gaps.

Conducting daily individual and small‑group motivation sessions to ensure every student reaches 100% of their weekly app goals, using Coachbot analytics, Alpha’s incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your relationship with each child to overcome resistance.

Delivering the Test2Pass - Alpha’s mastery‑based assessment - for each life skill, then coaching students who fall short until they achieve passing performance.

Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and kinesthetic engagement to eighth graders needing candid conversation and accountability.

Serving as the adult who upholds rigorous standards and simultaneously earns students’ trust; warmth creates the relational capital to challenge, and challenge demonstrates your confidence in their potential.

What You Won’t Be Doing

Delivering whiteboard‑based instruction; academic content is embedded in the applications, not delivered by you.

Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established playbook through dynamic facilitation and narrative.

Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this model is direct, relational, and persistent.

Reducing a weekly target to enable a student to meet it; when a child falls behind, the intervention addresses the child’s effort, not the standard.

Scoring assignments, preparing standardized test materials, or managing parent outreach; Campus Leads handle family communication, and the other tasks do not exist in this environment.

Counselor Key Responsibilities
Drive every student in your K‑8 cohort to complete their weekly learning objectives, demonstrate mastery of each life skill, and conclude the year affirming that they loved you.

Bachelor’s degree in any field.

Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K‑8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp leadership, or youth program management).

A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K‑8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result.

Comfort with AI managing instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life‑skills development.

Regular use of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.

Authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location).

Nice‑to‑have Requirements

Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp direction, theater, or after‑school programming where you held direct accountability for driving kids toward measurable outcomes.

Demonstrated record of high personal achievement (academic, athletic, or career‑based) that reflects a sustained commitment to rigorous standards rather than performative posturing.

Narrative and presentation skills sufficient to engage a room of 12‑year‑olds for an hour without volume escalation.

History of converting disengaged or resistant learners into committed participants.
