Position Overview:
We are an Academic & ADHD coaching practice founded in 2013 to help teens and young adults earn better grades with less stress by improving their executive functioning, organization, time management, and study skills.
We're seeking positive, engaging coaches who can build trust with middle school, high school, and college students while helping them develop practical skills they can use in school and life. Most of your time in this role will be spent in 1:1 coaching sessions, with your remaining time spent preparing for sessions, communicating with families, supporting student progress, and collaborating with our team.
This is a part-time coaching role, not a therapy or tutoring role. Our coaches use rapport-building, reflective listening, motivational interviewing, collaborative problem-solving, progress tracking, and accountability to help students make meaningful changes in their behavior over time.
Because we work with students, our coaches typically meet for coaching sessions after school and/or on weekends, with some flexibility based on client needs.
Ideal candidates for this role will have:
- A bachelor's and/or master's degree in education, psychology, counseling, special education, child development, or a related field
-
Professional experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
Academic, ADHD, or Executive Function Coaching
-
Special Education, School Counseling, or Student Support
-
Educational Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech/Language Pathology, ABA, or related developmental/learning support
-
Counseling, therapy, social work, or related helping professions, especially with children, teens, young adults, or families
-
Academic tutoring, study skills tutoring, or student success coaching
You will be a great fit for this position if you are:
- A warm, approachable “people person” who enjoys working directly with students and families, can build rapport with a wide variety of personalities, and can balance empathy with structure, accountability, and clear next steps
-
Energized by student-facing work and able to stay positive, encouraging, and engaged through several hours of back-to-back coaching sessions, both virtually and in person
-
Reliable, organized, and proactive; families, students, and teammates can count on you to follow through on communication, scheduling, session preparation, and administrative details
-
A practical problem-solver who keeps looking for the next helpful step when students are overwhelmed, resistant, discouraged, or making slower progress than expected
-
Interested in helping students build practical, real-life skills over time — not just helping with homework in the moment
-
Open to feedback, collaboration, and ongoing growth as part of a supportive team
Job Responsibilities:
As a part-time coach, you will be responsible for…
- Meeting with students for at least 12 hours of coaching sessions/week
-
Helping students strengthen executive functioning, organization, time management, planning, study skills, and follow-through
-
Identifying and planning the most important topics to cover in students' sessions
-
Communicating with parents about students' progress by text, email, and phone
-
Checking in with students by text or email between sessions as needed
-
Collaborating with teachers, counselors, tutors, therapists, and other professionals when appropriate
-
Participating in 1:1s, small groups, team meetings, and continuing education sessions
-
Contributing to team systems, student support, and other projects that help us serve families well
These responsibilities are all factored into the per-session rate we pay our coaches.
What Success Looks Like:
In this role, success means helping students feel understood, supported, and challenged in practical ways that help them make meaningful progress over time. After several months in this role, successful coaches are typically able to…
- Build strong, trusting relationships with students and families, including students who are initially overwhelmed, discouraged, avoidant, or resistant
-
Turn vague goals like “get organized,” “stop procrastinating,” or “do better in school” into concrete next steps and practical systems
-
Keep sessions engaging, structured, and productive — even when progress is slow, nonlinear, or students are struggling to follow through
-
Maintain consistent caseload of clients while providing excellent client service and keeping students engaged and attending sessions consistently
-
Communicate proactively and professionally with parents so they understand what is happening, what is improving, and what changes still need to be made
Job Details:
This is a part-time hybrid W2 role based in Atlanta, GA.
We are looking for coaches who are…
- Based in the Atlanta Metro area
-
Able to meet with clients in person at least 2-3 days a week at our office locations in North Druid Hills and/or Roswell
-
Available to meet with clients after school and on weekends, for example:
-
Weekday evenings, typically Monday–Thursday from 4:30 PM–8:30 PM
-
Saturdays 10 AM–2 PM
-
and/or Sundays 10 AM–2 PM and/or 3 PM –7 PM
The pay rate for this role is $45/session – including preparation, meeting time, and follow-up (see list of responsibilities above)
Please note: The number of sessions you have each week will vary – coaches typically have fewer sessions during the summer, holidays, when students are sick / traveling, etc. If you need a part-time job with a consistent weekly paycheck, this opportunity will probably not be the best fit for you.
Opportunities for Growth:
Coaches who start out with us in a part-time role will have the opportunity to move to a full-time in the future. Our full-time roles provide coaches with a consistent salary and benefits including a healthcare reimbursement program, 401k matching, and paid sick time. This timeline would be a perfect fit for teachers or other professionals who would like to gradually transition into a new position over the next 6-8 months. We may also have a full-time role available to start sooner for qualified candidates.
Next Steps:
If this role sounds like a good fit, please submit an application to be considered. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
