Learning Coach, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback literacy, adjusting your delivery style and energy for Pre-K through 8th grade developmental ranges
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review adaptive learning app progress (analyzed through Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive students toward 100% completion of weekly benchmarks
• Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine life skill mastery rather than simple participation
• Implementing focused interventions when students experience academic lag or disengagement—diagnosing underlying issues and creating structured recovery strategies
• Cultivating authentic connections with individual students that establish the trust necessary for them to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and moments of low confidence

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching traditional academic content or delivering lectures (core subject learning occurs through adaptive platforms, independent of your instruction)
• Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your responsibility is execution with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
• Handling parent communication or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these functions; your attention remains on student development)
• Handling homework assignments or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in Alpha's model)
• Operating independently without support (you collaborate within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)

About the Role

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in approximately two hours using adaptive technology. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role addresses what technology cannot: developing life skills in Pre-K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• 3+ years of direct experience working with Pre-K through 8th grade students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles)
• Demonstrated history of motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your specific actions, and measurable results)
• Comfort with a coaching-exclusive framework where all core academic instruction is delivered by the learning platform. Your function is motivation and guidance, not subject-matter teaching
• Daily operational use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude)
• Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Springfield, MA location (relocation assistance provided)
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice-to-Have Requirements

• Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined objectives
• History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance)
• Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain Pre-K–8 student engagement for an hour without volume escalation
• Prior experience supporting students who receive special education services
