Job summary

Alpha School is seeking an on-site Associate Coach in Nashville to lead K-8 life-skills workshops, monitor progress, and coach students toward 100% weekly app goals. You will leverage Coachbot analytics and an incentive system to motivate learners, while maintaining high standards and supportive mentorship.

The role emphasizes hands-on coaching, small-group mentoring, and ongoing adaptation of sessions to meet diverse ages from kindergarten to eighth grade. Relocation support is provided.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years working directly with K-8 (elementary and middle school) students: classroom teaching, tutoring, athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program work.
• Comfortable letting adaptive learning software deliver the academic instruction while you own motivation and life-skills coaching
• A personal record of high achievement, academic, athletic, or professional, that made holding a hard standard a habit rather than a posture
• Stage presence strong enough to hold a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without raising your voice
• Legal right to work in the United States without visa sponsorship

Responsibilities

• Lead one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback
• Run daily 1:1 and small-group motivation sessions that push every student to 100% of their weekly app goals, using Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards)
• Administer the Test2Pass mastery assessment for each life skill, then re-coaching any student who does not pass until they do
• Adapt the workshop playbook, and build new sessions when you find a gap, so the same material lands with a kindergartener and with an 8th grader
• Be the adult who holds the standard and the adult your students choose to talk to
