Mentor de Estudiantes, Alpha – $100,000/year USD Jobs in San Juan-Carolina Area at Crossover
Title: Mentor de Estudiantes, Alpha – $100,000/year USD
Company: Crossover
Location: San Juan-Carolina Area
- On-site role at Alpha School's campus in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- $100,000 annual salary ($50/hour, 40 hours/week), with weekly pay
- Formal teaching certification not required; Spanish fluency beneficial
The most caring action you can take for a student who reaches 99% of their goal is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that principle feels uncomfortable, this position may not suit you. If it resonates because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a child's potential, continue reading.
Alpha School operates on a 2 Hour Learning framework: students in grades K-8 complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours via adaptive learning applications. There are no lectures. No textbooks. Your role involves the work the technology cannot perform — guiding children through life competencies such as public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and constructive feedback exchange.
Approximately 60% of your time will be dedicated to individual motivation: reviewing learning app dashboards and Coachbot data, identifying where an 8-year-old struggles with fractions or a fifth grader resists reading assignments, and helping them overcome obstacles. The remaining 40% involves facilitating interactive, hour-long workshops that resemble improv practice more than traditional instruction. Every student must demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass assessments before progression.
This position offers growth. You'll manage a small cohort and learn Alpha's methodology during your first year. Demonstrate your ability to hold each student accountable to 100% of their objectives while maintaining strong satisfaction metrics, and opportunities open toward Lead Guide, then Campus Lead (where you oversee an entire school). You'll witness a child who avoided eye contact in September confidently present to a room of parents by spring.
Apply if you believe 30 children arranged in rows listening to one adult undermines what children are capable of achieving.
What You Will Be Doing
- Guiding K-8 students individually and in small groups through adaptive learning platforms, utilizing Coachbot analytics and dashboards to identify obstacles and root causes
- Implementing Alpha's motivation system (leaderboards, incentive structures, weekly goal-setting sessions) to ensure every student progresses at the target rate
- Facilitating hour-long, experiential life-skills workshops focused on public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback (project-driven and interactive, never lecture-based)
- Conducting Test2Pass mastery assessments and maintaining standards: students advance only after demonstrating genuine comprehension
- Establishing trust with students so rigorous accountability feels empowering rather than punitive
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Delivering lectures or traditional academic instruction (students acquire core subjects through adaptive apps, not direct teaching from you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up — Alpha supplies the curriculum and playbooks; you implement them with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Correcting homework assignments or preparing students for standardized testing; those elements don't exist in this environment
- Handling parent communications or school administration — Campus Leads oversee those areas, allowing you to concentrate on your cohort
- Providing passive supervision of children on computers; if you're not actively coaching, you're not fulfilling the role
