Tutor, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

At Alpha, you will lead life‑skills workshops and motivation sessions for K‑8 students, using AI‑powered adaptive learning apps for academics while you focus on motivation, life‑skills coaching, and building relationships.

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 and 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 material works for kindergarteners through 8th graders.
• Be the adult who holds the standard and the adult 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).
• Bachelor’s degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years working directly with K‑8 students (classroom teaching, tutoring, athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program work).
• Comfortable letting adaptive learning software deliver academic instruction while you own motivation and life‑skills coaching.
• 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.

Nice‑to‑have (Qualifications/Skills)

• Youth athletics coaching, debate, drama, camp leadership, or after‑school program work where you were personally accountable for kids hitting a specific goal.
• Experience teaching social‑emotional learning (SEL) or durable‑skills curricula.
• A student you can name who went from resistant or checked out to fully engaged, and the specific thing you did.
• Daily use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
