Crossover; Santa Monica (CA); On-site; USD 105,000 - 109,000; Full time

Job summary

Alpha is hiring Learning Coaches to work on-site with K-3 students across multiple California campuses. You will lead life-skills workshops, coach students individually and in small groups, and use analytics to guide weekly goals and mastery of skills.

This role focuses on coaching and motivation rather than traditional curriculum delivery, requiring passion for youth development and proven ability to help children believe they can achieve more than they thought possible.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years of experience working directly with children ages 4-9 through teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or similar environments.
• Experience leading group activities for young children, with a concrete example of the structure or routine you used and how you kept the group engaged.

Responsibilities

• Lead engaging life-skills workshops that help K-3 students master communication, focus, feedback, and other durable skills through active participation rather than lectures.
• Coach students one-on-one and in small groups, using Coachbot analytics, proven motivation systems, and strong relationships to keep every child on track for ambitious weekly learning goals.
• Assess life-skill mastery through Alpha's Test2Pass framework, coaching students until they demonstrate real understanding—not just participation.
• Adapt your coaching style to the developmental needs of your cohort, whether that means songs, movement, and storytelling for younger learners or higher independence and accountability for older students.
• Build the kind of relationships where students feel supported enough to stretch beyond what they thought they could achieve.
