Mentor Juvenil, Alpha – $100,000/year USD Jobs in San Juan, Puerto Rico at Crossover
Title: Mentor Juvenil, Alpha – $100,000/year USD
Company: Crossover
Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
- Campus-based role at Alpha School in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- Annual salary of $100,000 ($50/hour, 40 hours weekly), paid each week
- Teaching certification not required; Spanish proficiency is beneficial
The most meaningful way to support a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist they finish. If that expectation makes you uneasy, this position is not a fit. If it energizes you 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 using adaptive learning technology. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your role covers what software cannot — developing essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, collaboration, and constructive feedback exchange.
Approximately 60% of your time will be dedicated to individual student motivation: reviewing learning platform dashboards and Coachbot data, identifying where a third-grader struggles with fractions or a fifth-grader avoids reading assignments, then helping them break through. The remaining 40% involves facilitating interactive, hour-long workshops that resemble improv practice more than conventional classes. Each student must demonstrate mastery via Test2Pass evaluations before progression.
This position offers growth. You'll guide a small cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology during your first year. Demonstrate your ability to hold every student to 100% goal completion while maintaining strong satisfaction metrics, and advancement opportunities open to Lead Guide, followed by Campus Lead (overseeing an entire school). You'll witness a child who avoided eye contact in September confidently present to a room full of parents by spring.
Apply if you believe seating 30 children in rows to listen to one adult underutilizes what children are capable of achieving.
What You Will Be Doing
- Guiding K-8 students individually and in small groups through adaptive learning platforms, leveraging Coachbot analytics and dashboards to identify learning obstacles and their causes
- Implementing Alpha's motivation system (leaderboards, incentives, weekly goal-setting) to ensure every student progresses at the anticipated rate
- Facilitating hour-long, experiential life-skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback exchange (project-driven and interactive, never lecture-based)
- Conducting Test2Pass mastery evaluations and upholding standards: students advance only after demonstrating true comprehension
- Establishing trust with students so that rigorous accountability feels inspiring rather than punitive
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Delivering lectures or conventional academic instruction (students master core subjects through adaptive platforms, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up — Alpha supplies the curriculum and playbooks; you execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Grading homework assignments or preparing students for standardized testing; neither exists in this model
- Handling parent communication or school administration — Campus Leads manage those areas, allowing you to concentrate on your cohort
- Passively monitoring students on devices; if you're not actively coaching, you're not fulfilling the role
