The most powerful support you can offer a student who scored 99% is to tell them they fell short. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, read on.

Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily through AI-powered, self-directed apps. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom instruction on subject matter. This model allows you to focus on what genuinely shifts student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on communication, concentration, and constructive feedback; driving every learner toward goal achievement using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support your efforts.

A typical morning may begin with a coaching conversation with a Guide, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing areas where a cohort is struggling. By midday you're facilitating a live student workshop, executing a playbook exercise on feedback dynamics. Afternoons transition to motivational work: engaging individual students, discovering their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You manage your own cohort directly, ensuring you remain proficient in the competencies you're coaching others to build.

You've likely been the outlier in education: overly analytical, excessively outcome-oriented, too ready to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the environment where you finally belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable results at scale, your impact on campus-wide program standards expands.

Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life competencies (communication, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's playbook rather than creating original content
• Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student analytics and Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
• Developing Guides on program adherence and standards execution, ensuring every coaching interaction yields concrete improvement actions
• Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance data weekly to identify underperformance before it escalates
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering lectures or providing academic tutoring to students. Students progress through self-directed apps without adult instruction in the room.
• Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans independently. The playbook is established; the expectation is faithful execution, not creative invention.
• Developing Guides on instructional methods. Guides don't teach content, so your coaching centers on enthusiasm, motivation, and accountability.
• Granting leniency when a student achieves 99% rather than 100%. Maintaining standards demonstrates your confidence in their capability.
• Serving as the "emotional safety net" common in traditional schools. Students receive genuine connection here, alongside candid feedback and meaningful consequences.
