We need to produce HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Quote from Katie: "The sheer amount of time I get back from not having to make daily lesson plans and grade papers is huge." — Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver Alpha is hiring. (Probably not needed as content? It's a quote, but it's part of description. Might be considered substantive? It's about time saved. Could be included in About the role? Might be considered fluff but it's a quote. Might keep as part of description.
- Description of role: "The most supportive thing you can do for a student who hits 99% of their weekly goal is refuse to call it done..." etc.
- "You are not a teacher. At Alpha, students learn academics through AI-powered adaptive learning apps. No lectures. No textbooks. No whiteboard. Motivation and life skills, the two things schools normally squeeze into the margins, are the whole job here."
- Picture a Tuesday: half day workshops for K-8 cohort on public speaking, focus, and how to give and receive real feedback. Other half sit with students one-on-one or small groups, read Coachbot analytics, push each to 100% of weekly app goals, using school currency, leaderboards, relationship.
- Your quarter comes down to three numbers: every student in your cohort hits their weekly app goals, every student passes the Test2Pass mastery check for each workshop, and 90% or more say they love you. Missing one of the three is missing the job.
- The payoff is the day a student who spent September insisting they were bad at math asks you to raise their goal.
- This is a full-time, on-site role at one of Alpha's campuses. We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this opportunity in nearby cities that do not have a campus yet. Current openings for this salary tier are available in Scottsdale, AZ; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; and Austin, Dallas, and Plano, TX. If you're interested in another Alpha campus, apply anyway and tell us your preferred location—we'll consider you for the appropriate opening.
- If you have coached youth sports, run a cabin at camp, or tutored a kid who wanted to quit, the last step before an offer is a full day on campus coaching real Alpha students. If that day is the part you want most, apply today
- "What You Will Be Doing" bullet list:
- Leading one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback
- Running 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)
- Administering the Test2Pass mastery assessment for each life skill, then re-coaching any student who does not pass until they do
- Adapting the workshop playbook, and building new sessions when you find a gap, so the same material lands with a kindergartener and with an 8th grader
- Being both the adult who holds the standard and the adult your students choose to talk to
- "What You Won’t Be Doing" bullet list:
- Writing math and reading lesson plans, grading homework, or lecturing at a whiteboard; academic instruction lives in the apps
- Running standardized test prep or answering for a class-wide test score
- Handling parent conferences, emails, and complaints; campus leadership owns all parent-facing work
- Crowd-controlling 30 students at once; cohorts are small and behavior work here is 1:1 coaching
- Supervising kids at computers; motivation here is active and personal
- "Tutor Key Responsibilities" line: Ensure every student in your K-8 cohort hits their weekly learning goals, masters each life skill, and leaves the year saying they loved school.
- "Basic 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 (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
- "Nice-to-have Requirements":
- 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
- "About Alpha" paragraph: description of Alpha.
- "Working with us": This is a full-time, W2 employee position with immediate access to benefits (link). All roles are year-long positions. The compensation level for this role is $100,000 USD/year. The payment period is weekly. Consult www.crossover.com/help-and-faqs for more details on this topic. Crossover Job Code: LJ-4415-US-McKinney-Tutor
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove the "Apply" calls? Those are application instructions; we should remove them. Also remove the link maybe? The benefits link is part of benefits description; we can keep mention of benefits but not the URL? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is maybe not substantive; but the benefits mention is substantive. We can keep "immediate access to benefits" but maybe drop the URL as it's not essential. However, the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; the URL might be considered not substantive. Safer to keep the phrase but maybe drop the URL. The link is not essential content. We'll keep "immediate access to benefits". Also "All roles are year-long positions." is substantive. "The compensation level for this role is $100,000 USD/year." is pay. "The payment period is weekly." is pay schedule? Could be part of Pay or Schedule. We'll treat as Pay details.
We need to output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: could include description of Alpha, mission, what the role is about (the quote, the description of not being a teacher, etc). Could also include "What You Will Be Doing" and "What You Won’t Be Doing" as Responsibilities? Actually Responsibilities likely correspond to "What You Will Be Doing". Requirements correspond to Basic Requirements. Qualifications maybe Nice-to-have? Or Skills could be nice-to-have. Benefits, Pay, Schedule separate.
We need to avoid thin sections. So we should combine where appropriate.
We have substantive content for:
- About the role: description of Alpha, role nature, quote, etc.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of What You Will Be Doing (leading workshops, running sessions, administering assessments, adapting playbook, being adult). Also maybe the "Tutor Key Responsibilities" line.
- Requirements: Basic Requirements bullet list.
- Qualifications: Nice-to-have Requirements bullet list.
- Skills: maybe we could treat Nice-to-have as Skills? But we already have Qualifications for nice-to-have. Could also have Skills section for things like stage presence, comfort with AI, etc. But those are in Basic Requirements. Might be better to have Skills separate for things like stage presence, comfort with adaptive learning, etc. However we risk thin sections. Let's see.
We have Pay: compensation $100k/year, weekly payment period.
Benefits: immediate access to benefits, year-long positions.
Schedule: full-time, on-site role. Also mention that it's full-time, W2 employee position. Could also mention that it's full-time, on-site. That's schedule.
We also have location info: willingness to work in person at campuses in certain cities, relocation support provided. That could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section like Location, but not required. Could be included in Requirements (willing to work in person...). We'll keep it there.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Tutor". Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short p or drop it. The Crossover Job Code is minor metadata; we can drop it or put in a p. Probably drop it.
We must remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: "What You Will Be Doing" and "Tutor Key Responsibilities" similar. We'll keep the bullet list under Responsibilities and maybe include the key responsibilities sentence as a p before list.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have none.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll use
for each section heading. Inside each section, we will have
for prose and
- for lists. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown code fences. Let's craft. Section About the role: Include quote? Might be considered substantive. We'll include as a p. Paragraph: "The sheer amount of time I get back from not having to make daily lesson plans and grade papers is huge." — Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver. Then description: "Alpha is hiring. The most supportive thing you can do for a student who hits 99% of their weekly goal is refuse to call it done. Not because you are indifferent, but because you believe they can clear the bar, and lowering it is the real failure. You are not a teacher. At Alpha, students learn academics through AI-powered adaptive learning apps. No lectures. No textbooks. No whiteboard. Motivation and life skills, the two things schools normally squeeze into the margins, are the whole job here." Then maybe a picture of Tuesday description? Could be part of responsibilities. But we could include a brief description of typical day: "Picture a Tuesday: half your day you run one-hour workshops for a K-8 cohort on public speaking, focus, and how to give and receive real feedback. The other half you sit with those same students one-on-one or in small groups, read their Coachbot analytics, and push each of them to 100% of their weekly app goals, using school currency, leaderboards, and the relationship you have built with them to break through resistance." That is substantive; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. I'd put it in About the role to give context. Then mention quarter metrics: "Your quarter comes down to three numbers: every student in your cohort hits their weekly app goals, every student passes the Test2Pass mastery check for each workshop, and 90% or more say they love you. Missing one of the three is missing the job." Then mention payoff: "The payoff is the day a student who spent September insisting they were bad at math asks you to raise
