On-site position at an Alpha campus in Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available)
Your role is not to teach. Your role is to motivate.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for groups of 10-15 K-3 students covering public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange, and other transferable competencies
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions that maintain student progress toward weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's reward structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the personal connection you've established with each child
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and supporting students who fall short until they achieve mastery
• Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level through songs, narratives, physical activity, and humor, while simultaneously holding second and third graders accountable to concrete, quantifiable expectations
• Serving as the caring adult children are excited to see at morning arrival AND the adult who will not permit them to settle for less than their best

Requirements

• Basic Requirements:
• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any subject
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4 to 9 (early-elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A specific example you can describe of motivating a young child to a hard goal: the goal, what you did, and the outcome
• Able to attend a paid training program at our Austin, TX campus
• Willingness to let AI handle the instructional content while you focus on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Likely to be legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship
• Nice-to-have Requirements:
• Background in youth athletics coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating young children toward defined objectives
• Personal record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to demanding standards reflects a consistent pattern, not an adopted stance
• Natural performer's energy with young children — the capacity to command a room of kindergarteners through vocal delivery, playfulness, and physical engagement
• Demonstrated success transforming hesitant or reluctant young children into engaged, confident contributors
