Scholars Program Mentor, GT School - $150,000/year USD

Location: On-site in Georgetown (Austin), TX (relocation assistance available)

About the role

At gt.school, your group of 15–20 K–12 students progresses through material 5–10x faster than conventional classrooms permit. Your role is to continually elevate standards: facilitating one-hour life skills sessions on topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback, while conducting personalized motivation meetings guided by Coachbot analytics that align individual objectives with quantifiable app progress. You'll see students who previously struggled with articulation complete the Test2Pass and emerge confident enough to address any audience. You leverage your own academic credentials in every interaction. No predetermined script exists. This position differs fundamentally from traditional classroom instruction. Mentors who establish strong performance records here — sustained student satisfaction, 100% goal-completion rates, verified skill acquisition — qualify for leadership positions, guiding a small mentor team while continuing to lead their own cohort.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life skills sessions covering public speaking, focus, and feedback for a cohort of 15–20 K–12 learners, drawing on gt.school's curriculum and your personal academic background
• Conducting personalized motivation meetings that utilize Coachbot analytics to monitor each student's learning app progress relative to established goals
• Overseeing mastery-based Test2Pass evaluations to validate student skill acquisition
• Adjusting instructional delivery dynamically through storytelling, credibility earned from your own achievements, and AI-supported personalization to maintain challenge and engagement for gifted students
• Monitoring performance against targets of 100% goal completion and 95% student satisfaction

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Operating a conventional classroom — each student here has actively chosen participation
• Grading assignments, producing report cards, or managing the administrative burden typical of standard teaching positions
• Aligning instruction with standardized tests or externally mandated assessments
• Simplifying material — students here are equipped to engage with the complete scope of your expertise
• Supporting disengaged learners or those progressing at typical speeds

Requirements

• Willingness to work on-site in Georgetown (Austin), TX
• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier institution (Ivy League or equivalent)
• Proven record of academic distinction (e.g., National Merit Finalist, academic Olympiad medalist, or early college graduation)
• Minimum of 3 years coaching, mentoring, or teaching students
• At least one elite academic credential: distinguished fellowship or scholarship (Rhodes, Fulbright, NSF GRFP, Gates), PhD, Mensa or Triple Nine Society membership, or university-level teaching experience
• Daily self-reported use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or equivalent)
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree from a highly ranked research institution
• Experience as a competitor or coach in rigorous academic competitions (MATHCOUNTS, Science Olympiad, national debate, or equivalent)
• Track record coaching high-performing students toward distinguished outcomes (elite college admissions, fellowship awards, competitive examinations)
• Training in cognitive science, educational psychology, or gifted and talented (GT) education
