Learning Facilitator, GT School - $100,000/year USD

About the Role

At gt.school, we ask, "What is this particular six-year-old capable of?" Gifted students advance at their own pace, mastering multiple years of academic content via AI-powered platforms while dedicating the remainder of their day to cultivating confidence, communication skills, resilience, and leadership. Your role is to guide exceptional young learners in forming the habits and character traits that allow remarkable talent to thrive.

You will oversee a single K-3 cohort band—Kindergarten-1st grade or 2nd-3rd grade. Approximately half your time will be dedicated to facilitating dynamic workshops focused on life competencies such as public speaking, concentration, receiving feedback, and leadership development. The remaining time involves coaching students individually and small groups, leveraging learning analytics to ensure each child advances toward challenging weekly objectives.

This is a full-time, on-site position at gt.school's Georgetown, Texas campus, located just outside Austin. Relocation support is provided for outstanding candidates.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops designed to cultivate communication, focus, leadership, resilience, and other enduring competencies in gifted K-3 students through active engagement rather than passive instruction.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation frameworks, and meaningful relationships to ensure continuous progress toward ambitious weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using gt.school's Test2Pass system, supporting students until they exhibit authentic understanding and reliable application.
• Tailor your coaching approach to match your cohort's developmental stage, blending creativity and energy with exceptionally rigorous expectations for young learners' capabilities.
• Cultivate relationships that inspire gifted students to welcome challenging tasks, persevere through obstacles, and develop character commensurate with their intellectual gifts.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching academic content from the front of the classroom. Core academic subjects are learned through adaptive, AI-driven software.
• Constraining gifted students by conventional grade-level benchmarks.
• Creating curriculum materials from the ground up. You'll customize proven frameworks rather than design lessons from nothing.
• Simply monitoring students during independent work time. Your contribution centers on coaching, motivating, and nurturing each child's development.
• Reducing expectations when students face difficult obstacles. You'll support students in meeting ambitious goals rather than lowering standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree accompanied by a personal history of exceptional academic achievement.
• Demonstrated record of outstanding academic performance, evidenced through achievements such as acceptance to a highly selective university, exceptional grades, prestigious academic honors, advanced coursework, competitive scholarships, academic competitions, or equivalent accomplishments.
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with children ages 4-9 in teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or comparable settings.
• A concrete example of successfully motivating a young child to reach a challenging objective, detailing the goal, your methodology, and the result.
• Comfort leveraging AI-powered learning tools while dedicating your primary effort to coaching, motivation, and life-skill cultivation.
• Capacity to blend warmth with steadfast expectations for all students.
• Willingness to work full-time on-site at the Georgetown, Texas location.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-Have Requirements

• Background working with gifted, accelerated, or exceptionally advanced learners.
• Experience in youth athletics, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori education, progressive schooling, or high-engagement enrichment initiatives.
• Exceptional storytelling or presentation abilities that naturally captivate young children.
• Proven success helping highly capable children achieve beyond what they initially thought possible.
