Academic Advisor, gt.school (Remote) - $75,000/year USD

You’ve already proven yourself capable of excellence—whether on the field, on stage, or in professional settings. Now you’re positioned to channel that achievement into meaningful impact. At GT Anywhere, academic advisors guide students toward an uncommon outcome: genuine enthusiasm for learning, accelerated growth, and development into self-reliant, confident individuals. You’ll work remotely from any location worldwide.

GT Anywhere operates as a virtual academy for gifted learners prepared to advance rapidly. We combine AI‑driven curriculum with personalized coaching to provide what conventional education cannot: uncapped learning speed, rigorous depth across sciences and humanities, and a community of intellectual equals. In this Academic Advisor role, you’ll support 3rd–8th grade students pursuing accelerated pathways. Your focus isn’t content delivery—our technology manages that. You serve as the coach who cultivates belief, maintains high standards, and enables students to uncover their true potential. Each interaction carries weight. Each moment of progress matters.

If you’ve achieved elite‑level performance in any domain—athletics, performing arts, research, or commerce—and wish to empower the next generation toward similar achievement, this role is designed for you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating biweekly individual virtual coaching appointments for each student, centered on goal‑setting, motivation cultivation, and mindset development.
• Hosting open office hour sessions where students access real‑time guidance, encouragement, and problem‑solving support.
• Leveraging AI‑powered tools and tracking dashboards to monitor student advancement, detect obstacles, and refine coaching strategies.
• Recording observations, concerns, and tactical adjustments to keep each student progressing on an accelerated growth path.
• Working collaboratively with teammates to exchange effective practices, elevate issues requiring attention, and continuously refine the coaching framework.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Instructing lessons, evaluating assessments, or distributing homework assignments—technology manages academic content.
• Presenting lectures or adhering to prescribed curricular sequences.
• Supervising or excessively managing unmotivated students—our approach centers on coaching, not surveillance.
• Attending unproductive meetings or navigating administrative red tape.
• Operating below capacity—this team consists of individuals committed to high performance and meaningful contribution.
