Education Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

About the role

You won’t spend your day delivering lessons or grading papers. You’ll spend it coaching students through challenges, celebrating real progress, and helping them achieve goals they never thought they could reach. Every student has more in them than they believe; most adults lower the bar when a student struggles. You do the opposite.

Success is objective. At least 90% of your students should consistently hit their weekly academic goals, demonstrate mastery of Alpha’s life skills through Test2Pass assessments, and rate their experience with you at least 4 out of 5. Meet that standard consistently and you’ll have a clear path to Lead Guide, coaching other Guides, and eventually Campus Lead, where you’ll shape the culture and performance of an entire school.

Responsibilities

• Lead energetic, one-hour life skills workshops for K–8 students on topics like public speaking, focus, leadership, and giving and receiving feedback.
• Coach students one-on-one or in small groups using Coachbot analytics to identify who needs encouragement, accountability, or a different approach.
• Assess life-skill mastery through Test2Pass and provide targeted coaching until every student demonstrates genuine competence.
• Adapt coaching style across elementary and middle-school students, knowing when a kindergartner needs movement and encouragement and when an eighth grader needs direct accountability.
• Analyze weekly student performance data to identify patterns, remove obstacles, and continually improve outcomes for your entire cohort.

Requirements

• Willing to work in person at an Alpha campus in Malibu, CA; San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; Boston, MA; New York City, NY; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; or Palm Beach, FL (relocation support provided).
• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience working directly with K–8 students through teaching, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, camp leadership, or youth programs.
• Ability to describe a specific example of motivating a student to achieve a difficult goal, including your approach and the outcome.
• Excited to let AI deliver academics while you focus on coaching, motivation, and life-skills development.
• Authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have

• Experience coaching youth sports, debate, theater, camps, after-school programs, or other performance-based activities.
• Personal record of high achievement in academics, athletics, leadership, or another competitive field.
• Strong stage presence and storytelling skills that can keep a room of students engaged without relying on volume or discipline.
• Demonstrated success helping disengaged, resistant, or struggling students become motivated, confident learners.
