Kindergarten Teacher, Alpha - $120,000/year USD
About the role
This is not a school that is replacing teachers. This is not a threat to teachers in any way, shape, or form. This is reimagining what a teacher can be.
Alpha is hiring. The lesson is already built. The AI already knows what to teach. Your job is to make a child believe they can do something they didn't think was possible.
Responsibilities
- Lead engaging life-skills workshops that help K-3 students master communication, focus, feedback, and other durable skills through active participation rather than lectures.
- Coach students one-on-one and in small groups, using Coachbot analytics, proven motivation systems, and strong relationships to keep every child on track for ambitious weekly learning goals.
- Assess life-skill mastery through Alpha's Test2Pass framework, coaching students until they demonstrate real understanding—not just participation.
- Adapt your coaching style to the developmental needs of your cohort, whether that means songs, movement, and storytelling for younger learners or higher independence and accountability for older students.
- Build the kind of relationships where students feel supported enough to stretch beyond what they thought they could achieve.
Requirements
- Willing to work on-site at one of Alpha's campuses.
- Current openings are available in Palo Alto, Los Angeles (South Bay), Malibu, Orange County (Lake Forest), San Francisco, and Santa Monica, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, Miami, and Palm Beach, FL; Chicago, IL; New York City, NY; and Seattle (Kirkland), WA.
- Relocation assistance is available.
- Bachelor's degree in any subject.
- At least 3 years of experience working directly with children ages 4-9 through teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or similar environments.
- Experience leading group activities for young children, with a concrete example of the structure or routine you used and how you kept the group engaged.
- A track record of motivating young children to achieve challenging goals, with specific examples of your impact.
- A concrete example of changing your approach based on feedback and the result.
- Comfort using AI-powered learning while focusing your own energy on coaching, motivation, and life-skill development.
- The ability to balance warmth with unwavering expectations.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Nice-to-have Requirements
- Experience in youth sports, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori, progressive education, or high-engagement after-school programs.
- Personal experience achieving ambitious goals in academics, athletics, or your career.
- Outstanding storytelling or performance skills that naturally capture the attention of young children.
- Evidence of helping reluctant or shy children become confident, engaged participants.
