Alpha is transforming the student experience. Our students don't endure traditional lectures— they advance through adaptive technology, achieve mastery at twice the conventional pace, and develop practical life competencies. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" materialize for each student in your cohort and to equip our Guides with the capability to deliver the same results.

You will combine exceptional coaching expertise with dynamic presentation skills, converting workshops, data-informed motivational sessions, and precise feedback into powerful learning experiences.
