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

Most educators burn energy battling the system. They craft lesson plans no one reviews. They endure faculty meetings that produce no change. You abandoned that illusion long ago. The real work is the student sitting in front of you.At Alpha, academic instruction is delivered through software. Adaptive applications guide each student through content at an individualized pace. No lectures, no homework, no grading. This liberates you to focus on the work that genuinely transforms lives: facilitating life skill workshops where high schoolers develop public speaking, concentration, and feedback literacy, then coaching them individually to maintain momentum and achieve their learning targets. Half your time is spent leading group sessions. The other half is spent one-on-one with a student, leveraging Coachbot data to pinpoint precisely where they're blocked and why.Students complete a mastery-based assessment following each workshop. 90%+ should rate you favorably. 100% should be progressing through their apps. These aren't aspirational metrics; they define the standard. Upholding high expectations demonstrates your belief in their capacity to succeed. In the process, you'll develop expertise in crafting workshops teenagers eagerly attend, mastering advanced learning software, and forming enduring relationships with students and families. Our Brownsville campus neighbors SpaceX. The cutting edge of education meets the cutting edge of space exploration, and you'll be the one fulfilling Alpha's central promise: students who love learning, advance at twice the typical rate, and acquire skills that genuinely matter.
