The best way to support a student who achieves 99% is to tell them it's not a pass. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, read on.

Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily using self-directed AI technology. There are no traditional teachers, lectures, or classroom instruction. This structure allows you to focus on what truly transforms student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and constructive critique; driving students toward complete goal attainment through live analytics; and developing the Guides who support your work.

A typical morning may begin with individual Guide coaching, analyzing performance metrics to pinpoint where a cohort needs intervention. Mid-morning transitions to facilitated student workshops, executing structured activities on feedback exchange. Afternoons involve motivation work: one-on-one student engagement to understand individual drivers and deploy Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a struggling middle schooler. You maintain direct responsibility for your own cohort, ensuring you remain proficient in the competencies you're training others to master.

You've likely been the outlier in educational settings: excessively metrics-oriented, outcome-focused, and unafraid to question conventional approaches to student development. Alpha may be the first environment that aligns with your philosophy. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you demonstrate scaled impact, your authority over campus program standards expands.

Uphold expectations. Transform students. Submit your application.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating hour-long structured workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for elementary and middle school cohorts (K-8), executing Alpha's established framework rather than creating original content
• Conducting motivation interventions leveraging student data and Alpha's reward architecture (campus currency, performance rankings) to achieve 100% goal attainment across students
• Developing Guides through coaching focused on program adherence and standards maintenance, with each session yielding specific improvement commitments
• Managing your own assigned student cohort while simultaneously training other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness indicators on a weekly cadence to identify performance gaps early
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering academic instruction or subject tutoring to students. Academic learning occurs independently through applications without adult facilitation.
• Creating new curricula or developing original lesson structures. Established playbooks exist; execution excellence matters more than innovation.
• Training Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides don't teach content, your coaching addresses motivation, energy management, and accountability systems.
• Accepting 99% performance as meeting standards instead of requiring 100%. Maintaining rigorous expectations demonstrates your confidence in student capability.
• Serving as the emotional support anchor every school typically has. Students receive genuine connection here, alongside direct feedback and meaningful accountability.
