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

About the role

Alpha is hiring Learning Coaches (Guides) for its campuses, where students complete their academic core in about two hours each morning using AI‑adaptive apps, followed by life‑skills workshops and targeted reading interventions. Guides stay with the same K‑3 students from morning launch to closing, balancing about 70% of the day guiding app‑based learning and workshops with 30% on focused reading interventions. The role is a full‑time, W2 employee position, year‑long, with on‑site work, relocation support, and the opportunity to motivate students, hold high standards, and close reading gaps while helping to train future Guides and shape campus programs.

Responsibilities

• Run short structured-literacy workshops with two to four students — diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed for it, and checking that it transferred
• Coach students through app-based core learning: seeing who has stalled, asking the question that unsticks them, holding the daily goal
• Lead morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving
• Drive students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification pitched at their age
• Stay with your students through lunch,
