Alpha is transforming the school experience. Students here don't listen to lectures—they work through adaptive applications, learn content at double speed, and develop practical life skills in the process. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" reach every learner in your group and to train our Guides to achieve the same.

You'll combine top-tier coaching expertise with dynamic presentation skills, transforming workshops, data-informed team huddles, and focused feedback sessions into powerful developmental experiences. If you've broken records, turned struggling performers into high achievers, or simply won't settle for "good enough," we want you creating excellence alongside us.

What makes Alpha different?

• Competitive compensation for high-cost markets – elevated pay relative to standard guide positions to reflect metropolitan living expenses
• Robust benefits and paid time off – full health coverage and ample PTO
• Relocation support – offered to exceptional candidates
• Development-focused environment – access to coaching, professional training, and defined advancement opportunities

• Coaching and preparing Guides to facilitate Alpha's workshops at a world-class standard
• Building Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, designing engaging learning experiences, and addressing common challenges
• Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that drives higher student engagement and performance
• Personally coaching a small student cohort, demonstrating exemplary mentorship and motivational techniques

• Creating lesson plans – your Guides support student learning via adaptive applications; you concentrate on training them to become outstanding motivators
• Compromising on standards – when our passing threshold is 100%, your role is to uphold that expectation
• Conducting dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, high-impact, interactive learning

Train Guides and students to ensure every learner in your cohort enjoys school, progresses at 2× speed, and develops essential life skills. No exceptions.
