Academic Coach

Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development. Students cover 2x the material in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha Schools. That frees up their entire afternoon for serious training, where they work alongside former pro and D1 athletes coaching them at the highest standard.

We are hiring an Academic Coach to sit at the intersection of analytics and student coaching. You turn messy student performance data into clear, timely academic action, and then you sit with the student and actually move the needle. One hour you are analyzing performance data to spot risk early and justify placement decisions with defensible reasoning. The next hour you are face-to-face with a student over video, diagnosing where they are stuck and helping them break through before a small gap becomes a real failure.

What You'll Do
- Analyze Student Performance Data: Turn raw student data into clean, actionable academic reports that trigger timely interventions. Use Google Sheets fluently and lean on AI tools to move faster.
- Own Academic Outcomes for Your Students: Take end-to-end ownership of an assigned group of students, including placement decisions, testing decisions, and follow-up actions. You are accountable for outcomes.
- Run Rapid Academic Rescue Sessions: When a student is stuck or falling behind, meet with them fast, diagnose the root cause, and resolve the blocker in real time.
- Conduct Post-Test Coaching Sessions: Sit with students after assessments to separate real knowledge gaps from careless mistakes and assign targeted next steps.
- Coach Students Directly: Build real trust with your students. Give direct, honest feedback, hold the standard, and help them move forward without hand-holding.
- Partner With Academic Leaders and Parent Support: Escalate risks quickly, flag patterns you see in the data, and help improve the tools and processes we use.

What You Will Not Be Doing
- Generating reports that no one acts on
- Working purely behind the scenes with no student interaction
- Passing academic ownership to teachers, tutors, or parents
- Running generic tutoring sessions without clear diagnostic goals
- Waiting weeks to respond to emerging student issues
