Responsibilities
- Lead one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 cohorts on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback
- Run daily 1:1 and small‑group motivation sessions that push every student to 100% of their weekly app goals, using Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards)
- Administer the Test2Pass mastery assessment for each life skill, then re‑coach any student who does not pass until they do
- Adapt the workshop playbook, and build new sessions when you find a gap, so the same material lands with a kindergartener and with an 8th grader
- Be both the adult who holds the standard and the adult your students choose to talk to
Requirements
- Willing to work in person at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale, AZ; Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; or Austin, Dallas, or Plano, TX (relocation support provided)

- At least 3 years working directly with K‑8 (elementary and middle school) students: classroom teaching, tutoring, athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program work
- Comfortable letting adaptive learning software deliver the academic instruction while you own motivation and life‑skills coaching
- A personal record of high achievement, academic, athletic, or professional, that made holding a hard standard a habit rather than a posture
- Stage presence strong enough to hold a room of 12‑year‑olds for an hour without raising your voice
- Legal right to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
