Honors Program Mentor, GT School - $150,000/year USD

On-site role in Austin (Georgetown), TX — relocation assistance available.

About the Role

At gt.school, you'll guide a cohort of 15–20 K–12 students through material at 5–10x the pace of conventional classrooms. Your role centers on expanding their capacity: facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback, and conducting personalized motivation sessions informed by Coachbot analytics that tie individual goals to concrete progress in learning applications. You'll observe learners who once hesitated before an audience complete Test2Pass and emerge confident enough to address any group. Your own academic credentials inform every interaction. No predetermined scripts exist. This role does not replicate traditional classroom instruction. No grading backlog, no behavior management protocols, no curriculum designed for the lowest performer. Mentors who establish strong performance records — sustained student approval, 100% goal-achievement rates, validated skill acquisition — advance to leadership positions, guiding a compact team while continuing direct cohort work.

• Overseeing mastery-based Test2Pass evaluations to verify skill retention across your cohort
• Adjusting your approach dynamically through narrative techniques, demonstrated expertise, and AI-supported personalization to sustain engagement among high-ability learners
• Monitoring performance against 100% goal-completion and 95% student satisfaction targets
• Guiding a cohort of gifted K–12 learners to achieve mastery in critical life skills and accelerate their academic trajectory through individualized, high-expectation mentorship
