Life Skills Coach, gt.school - $150,000/year USD

• On-site in NYC or Miami (relocation assistance available)
• $150,000 annual compensation, paid weekly
  
  

You finished near the top of your class, and you're seeking a position where that achievement truly counts. Not merely as a credential on paper, but as the foundation that convinces a 12-year-old they can achieve the same.

Talented students don't require additional instruction. They require someone who has walked the path they're pursuing — someone whose academic record makes "you can accomplish this" register as reality, not motivational rhetoric. Half your role involves delivering one-hour life skills sessions (public speaking, concentration, feedback delivery). The remaining half centers on coaching where your objective is ensuring every student reaches their learning targets. Not the majority. Every single one. Academic material is delivered through AI-powered applications. Your advantage lies in narrative techniques, proven frameworks, and your personal academic history.

A standard morning begins with reviewing Coachbot data, identifying students requiring intervention. By mid-morning you're facilitating a workshop, deploying real-world scenarios and the presence that commands a room's full attention. Post-lunch finds you conducting a motivation session, converting reluctance into action through structured reward systems and cultivated relationships. Success is quantifiable: students demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass, 100% achieve their objectives, and 92–95% satisfaction ratings reflect your effectiveness.

Execute the frameworks with precision, establish trust within your cohort, and your outcomes become evidence that validates this approach. Those who thrive here don't simply facilitate sessions — they set the benchmark others aspire to reach. If this describes the opportunity you've been seeking, submit your application now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour life skills sessions with K–12 students covering public speaking, concentration, and feedback delivery using established frameworks and practical examples
• Conducting daily coaching and motivation sessions leveraging Coachbot analytics and systematic incentive frameworks to drive 100% of students toward their learning objectives
• Administering Test2Pass evaluations to confirm students have achieved mastery of life skills, not merely participation
• Cultivating one-on-one relationships with students so your coaching transforms resistance into sustained engagement
• Utilizing generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) on a daily basis to customize learning strategies and enhance results
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Developing curriculum or designing lessons — academic material and progression pathways are integrated into AI-powered applications
• Handling parents or taking ownership of parent correspondence
• Evaluating homework or examinations in conventional academic disciplines
• Operating a traditional classroom with lectures, textbooks, and uniform pacing structures
