About the Role

If you want a quiet classroom and a script to follow, stop here. This role is for someone who can command a room of 10–15 young kids, keep energy high, and hold a hard line on standards. You will coach behavior, focus, and follow-through in real time, and you will expect mastery, not participation trophies.

Alpha is an AI-powered private school built around a simple idea: kids can master core academics faster with adaptive learning apps, then use the rest of the day to build the life skills that actually change their future. Your job is to make that model work for a K–3 cohort. As a Guide you lead one cohort band - either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd) - and tailor your energy, pacing, and workshops to that band. You will run hands-on life skills workshops (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) and drive daily progress inside the learning apps using Coachbot analytics, clear targets, and consistent motivation systems.

This is high-accountability work. The scoreboard is clear: 2x academic progress each semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and students who can prove life-skill mastery through Test2Pass. If you’re ready to coach with energy, precision, and conviction, we want to meet you.

Responsibilities

Run one-hour, hands-on life skills workshops using storytelling, pacing, and active practice so students can pass Test2Pass
Use Coachbot analytics to spot blockers early, set daily and weekly targets, and keep every student on pace in adaptive learning apps
Lead group check-ins that reinforce goals, celebrate wins, and surface problems before they turn into missed targets
Apply motivation systems (school currency, leaderboards, incentives) to drive visible behavior change in focus, persistence, and output
Intervene immediately when students are stuck or off-task, coaching problem-solving and self-correction in the moment

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in any field
Full fluency in English
At least intermediate Spanish proficiency to manage behavior, give directions, and communicate with families
3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–9 in high-energy, high-engagement settings (classroom, camp, coaching, or afterschool programs)
Experience actively managing and engaging groups of 10–15+ young children (not supervision-only)
Exposure to structured goal-setting or progress targets with children
Track record of receiving performance feedback and applying it
Willing to work in person in Dorado, Puerto Rico
Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship

Nice to Have

Experience running structured workshops that include an assessment or performance check
Experience using data or learning analytics to drive student progress (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
Direct experience with incentive systems such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth setting

We Offer

Competitive salary of $100,000 USD/year
Full-time position with 40 hours/week
Opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative educational environment
