Job Description

• On-site: Austin (Georgetown), TX (relocation assistance available)
• $150,000/year, paid weekly | Health, dental, and vision benefits from day one
• Full-time, 40 hours/week

You understand what gifted students can achieve — because you were one yourself. If you've witnessed that potential wasted by reduced expectations and standardized lesson plans, consider this alternative.

At gt.school, you'll guide a cohort of 15–20 K–12 learners through curriculum at 5–10x the pace of conventional classrooms. Your role is to continuously elevate performance: facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and feedback, and conducting personalized motivation sessions that use Coachbot analytics to align each student's objectives with measurable progress in learning applications. You'll observe students who once struggled with communication complete the Test2Pass and leave prepared to present confidently in any setting. Your own academic credentials inform every interaction. No script is provided.

This is not traditional classroom instruction. No grading backlog, no classroom discipline issues, no teaching to the middle. Those who establish strong performance records here — sustained student satisfaction, 100% goal-completion rates, proven skill mastery — are considered for leadership positions, where they develop a small team while continuing to mentor their own cohort.

Apply now if you're prepared to hold gifted students to the standard they're capable of meeting.

• Administering Test2Pass mastery-based assessments to validate student skill acquisition
• Adjusting delivery dynamically through storytelling, established credibility, and AI-personalized instruction to maintain challenge and engagement for gifted learners
• Monitoring progress toward 100% goal-completion and 95% student satisfaction targets

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Running a traditional classroom — every student in this program has chosen to participate
• Grading assignments, preparing report cards, or managing the administrative tasks typical of standard teaching roles
• Teaching to standardized tests or meeting external assessment requirements
• Simplifying content — students here are ready to engage with the full complexity of your expertise
• Working with unmotivated or average-paced learners
