About Alpha

Key Responsibilities

Guide a K-8 student cohort to 100% achievement of weekly academic targets while facilitating life skills workshops that maintain 90% or higher satisfaction scores.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 (elementary and middle school) age students
• Strong storytelling and facilitation capabilities — capacity to sustain children's engagement throughout hour-long sessions
• Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Brownsville, TX campus
• Authorization to work legally in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship

• Demonstrated high achievement in competitive contexts (academic, athletic, or professional domains)
• Familiarity with self-paced or application-based learning environments

About the Role

You've dedicated years to coaching young people — not simply instructing them. The distinction matters: coaching means connecting with students, pushing them beyond their comfort zones, and refusing to accept mediocrity. This position offers meaningful upward trajectory, and that trajectory leads to amplified student outcomes. Educators who reliably deliver results (100% cohort achievement of weekly app targets, satisfaction scores at 90% or higher) advance to Lead Guide positions, where they train fellow educators to elevate their practice. Students remain the central focus throughout.

Location and Schedule

The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. This is a full-time (40 hours per week), long-term position. The position is immediately available and requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. The compensation level for this role is $50 USD/hour, which equates to $100,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. The payment period is weekly.
