Life Skills Coach, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

On-site position in Brownsville, TX (relocation support provided)$100,000 annual salary paid weekly, with full health benefitsMost educators burn energy battling bureaucracy. They craft lesson plans no one uses. They endure staff meetings that produce no results. You realized years ago that wasn't the real work. The real work is the student sitting across from you.At Alpha, academic instruction is delivered through software. Adaptive applications guide each learner through content at an individualized pace. There are no lectures, no homework assignments, no grading cycles. This structure allows you to focus on what genuinely transforms outcomes: facilitating life skill workshops where high schoolers develop public speaking ability, concentration, and feedback literacy, then providing individual coaching to maintain motivation and ensure learning targets are met. Half your time is spent leading group sessions. The other half is dedicated to one-on-one conversations, leveraging Coachbot analytics to pinpoint exactly where a student is struggling and why.Each workshop concludes with a mastery-based assessment. 90%+ of your students should rate you highly. 100% should demonstrate progress in their applications. These aren't stretch goals; they define the standard. Maintaining high expectations is how you communicate your belief in their potential. In this role, you'll develop expertise in creating workshops teenagers genuinely want to attend, mastering advanced learning technology, and forming deep connections with students and their families.
