Student Success Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

About the role

Alpha is one of the most talked-about schools in the world, featured in major publications such as The New York Times, Forbes, Today Show, Newsweek, and Dr. Phil. The hardest part of this job is not teaching. A six-year-old will be stuck in front of you, frustrated, and the right move is almost never to give them the answer. You are with the same students all day, from morning launch to closing.

Responsibilities

• Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal.
• Running short structured-literacy sessions with two to four students.
• Diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed, and checking for transfer.
• Leading morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving.
• Driving students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification.
• Staying with your students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child.

Requirements

• Willing to work on-site at a campus listed above, with relocation support.
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, children's theater, or similar settings where kids showed up because of you.
• At least 2 years of that experience coaching students on reading in grades K-3, within the last 5 years.
• Completed structured-literacy training: LETRS, IMSE, Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, Fundations, UFLI, CERI, Neuhaus, SIPPS, Really Great Reading, or similar; or a master's in reading or literacy.
• Bachelor's degree in any subject. A teaching certificate is not required.
• Comfortable spending about 90% of your day guiding students through app-based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and 10% on reading sessions.
• Willing to work with all K-3 students, not only struggling readers.
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have Requirements

• You held a six-year-old's attention with nothing but your energy and an engaging activity.
• You kept tired children coming back to an after-school reading program.
• Parents asked for you by name.
• You can name a child whose decoding you fixed and how.
