Student Learning Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

• On-site positions available in Palo Alto, CA; Santa Monica, CA; Miami, FL; Chicago, IL; Santa Barbara, CA.
• $120,000 annual salary with weekly pay. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one
• Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates
  
  

Traditional schools confine high-potential students to lecture-based classrooms built for standardized pacing.

Alpha operates differently: we enable student-directed learning that advances at the rate of capability rather than curriculum timelines.

This position does not involve overseeing 30-student classrooms or implementing district-mandated lesson plans. You will coach focused groups of self-motivated learners seeking accelerated progress, deeper understanding, and educational ownership. If your success stems from non-traditional achievement—competitive performance, athletic excellence, business ventures, or creative disciplines—and you understand how to convert ambition into measurable outcomes, this role allows you to leverage that experience for student advancement.

Teaching credentials are not required. Exceptional performance is mandatory.

What You Will Be Doing

• Engaging students through direct, daily mentorship and motivation—coaching rather than traditional instruction
• Leveraging adaptive learning technologies and AI-driven platforms to enable individualized pacing
• Facilitating small-group sessions centered on leadership development, life skills, and practical success frameworks
• Supporting students in identifying personal strengths and broadening aspirations via customized development plans
• Advancing Alpha's learning methodology through data analysis, field observations, and innovative recommendations
