What are the responsibilities and job description for the Academic Advisor, GT School (Remote) - $75,000/year USD position at Crossover?
You have already tested your limits—whether in athletics, creative performance, or professional leadership. Now you are prepared to channel that high-level achievement into meaningful impact. At GT Anywhere, you will serve as an academic advisor, helping students accomplish what seems impossible: falling in love with learning, accelerating their growth, and becoming self-reliant, confident individuals. You will do all of this remotely, from any location worldwide.
GT Anywhere operates as a virtual school designed for gifted learners eager to move faster. We combine AI-driven academic delivery with personalized, hands-on coaching to provide what conventional education cannot: unlimited learning speed, rigorous engagement across science and the humanities, and a network of like-minded intellectual peers. In your role as an Academic Advisor, you will support students in grades 3 through 8 who are driven to accelerate their learning. You are not responsible for content instruction—our technology manages that. Instead, you serve as the coach who cultivates confidence, sets high expectations, and empowers students to realize their full capabilities. Every coaching session is significant. Every moment of progress matters.
If you have achieved elite-level performance in any arena—sports, performing arts, research, or business—and wish to help young learners pursue the same, this position is designed for you.
What You Will Be Doing
Generate measurable academic progress and sustained engagement for virtual learners through frequent, high-impact coaching focused on mindset and performance, all within a fully remote, technology-enabled environment.
Basic Requirements
GT School is revolutionizing education with AI, expert coaching, and 50 years of learning science. They blend cutting-edge tech with data-driven insights to unlock every student's full potential.
They're on a mission to disrupt the broken education system and unleash the true potential of gifted minds. Forget the one-size-fits-all approach that leaves brilliant students bored and disengaged.
This school has tossed the rulebook and created a modern learning environment powered by AI and guided by dedicated mentors. Their personalized approach accelerates learning - 2-6 times faster than traditional classrooms.
GT School students explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and learn to innovate.
Because that's where genius lies.
GT School is where gifted minds turn potential into power.
