Job Description
• Based full-time at an Alpha School campus (Boston, MA
• Chicago, IL
• Greenwich, CT
• Lake Forest, CA
• Miami, FL
• Palo Alto, CA
• Piedmont, CA
• San Francisco, CA
• Santa Monica, CA; relocation assistance available)
• $120,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
• School-year calendar with predictable daily hours
The most caring action you can take with a 6-year-old who achieved 99% is refusing to round it up to 100%. If that principle makes you uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it resonates immediately, if you know children meet the expectations you set, this position was designed for you.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Academic learning happens through adaptive technology that adjusts to each student's level and pace. There are no teacher-led lessons. No identical worksheets distributed to an entire class. Every student progresses through individualized learning software while you, as their Guide, support them through challenging moments: maintaining concentration when difficulty increases, working through setbacks, recognizing genuine achievement rather than mere effort.
Your day begins with goal-setting sessions: analyzing individual student performance data from their learning platforms, establishing daily targets, and identifying the right motivational approach for each child. This might involve leaderboard competitions, school-based incentives, or direct conversations about their potential. The afternoon focuses on life skills instruction where you facilitate workshops on public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback through experiential, activity-driven methods. You'll conduct mastery-based evaluations (Test2Pass) requiring students to demonstrate true understanding, not passive attendance. Throughout, you're guiding emotional self-regulation, persistence, and critical thinking with clear boundaries and genuine care.
Successful Guides advance to Lead Guide roles, mentoring other Guides while maintaining responsibility for their own student group. The progression from "I transformed fifteen individual lives" to "I'm developing the team that impacts hundreds" is tangible and accessible. If conventional teaching never appealed to you but you understand that ages 4 through 7 establish lifelong patterns — apply.
What You Will Be Doing
• Facilitating daily goal-setting sessions with K-2 students: analyzing Coachbot performance data, establishing personalized targets, and applying Alpha's motivation framework (school currency, leaderboards, individual coaching) to achieve 100% goal completion
• Leading one-hour life skills sessions covering public speaking, concentration, constructive feedback, and time management through hands-on, project-driven activities aligned with Alpha's curriculum framework
• Supporting emotional self-regulation, persistence, and problem-solving while Reading Specialists provide literacy instruction
• Conducting Test2Pass mastery evaluations requiring students to prove internalization of each life skill before progression
• Developing authentic connections with every student through understanding their passions, capabilities, and challenges so your guidance feels individual, not formulaic
What You Won’t Be Doing
• Teaching from the front of a classroom or providing academic lessons. Academic learning occurs through adaptive software, not direct instruction from you.
• Creating curriculum materials independently. Alpha supplies the life skills curriculum and instructional plans; your role is implementation and delivery.
• Advancing students who haven't shown mastery. If they achieved 99%, you guide them to 100%.
• Supervising children passively using computers. Every moment involves active guidance, motivation, and skill development.
• Handling family communication or campus-wide logistics. Those responsibilities belong to the Campus Lead.
Learning Coach Key Responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-2 students who thrive academically, progress through adaptive learning at double the conventional rate, and develop critical life skills.
Basic Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum 3 years working with children ages 4–7 (teaching, afterschool programs, coaching, camps, or comparable settings)
• Proven ability managing groups of young children with clear structure and sustained engagement
• Engaging communicator and dynamic presenter capable of capturing and holding the attention of 5-year-olds
• Shows ongoing growth in response to feedback
• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus (Boston, MA
• Chicago, IL
• Greenwich, CT
• Lake Forest, CA
• Miami, FL
• Palo Alto, CA
• Piedmont, CA
• San Francisco, CA
• Santa Monica, CA; relocation support provided)
• Authorized to work in the US without sponsorship requirements
Nice-to-have Requirements
• Experience in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or afterschool program management with accountability for both engagement and measurable results
• Performance background (theater, public speaking, improv) that supports commanding attention in groups of young children
• Familiarity with adaptive learning systems or educational technology in classroom or tutoring environments
• Personal history of high achievement academically, athletically, or professionally that informs your expectation-setting with students
