Job Description

Imagine a school where the day feels more like an elite training session than a mundane routine. Intrigued? Read on.

Welcome to NextGen Academy, where we transform typical schooling into a thrilling experience. With just two hours dedicated to intense academic learning, our afternoons shift gears to a dynamic world of competitive gaming. Think Fortnite, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros, and more. Here, students from 5th to 8th grade hone vital life skills, confidence, and determination.

We’re not your standard educators. We seek exceptional mentors who can inspire and elevate. Individuals with a magnetic presence who have pursued grand ambitions and can coach others to achieve the same, whether through eSports, sports, academics, or entrepreneurship. This full-time, on-site position at our flagship Austin, TX campus is about guiding students to academic excellence and personal growth through eSports.

Bring your A-game daily. Be the engaging adult, never the dull one. Coach like a team leader, set standards like a champion, and make learning an exciting adventure.

If you never saw yourself in a school setting, you’re exactly who we need. For those passionate about competitive gaming, eSports, and technology with a drive to inspire young minds, NextGen is your place.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Fostering academic dedication by establishing productive habits, encouraging students to achieve daily targets, and nurturing a disciplined atmosphere during their 2-hour study periods.
  • Leading structured eSports sessions each afternoon, enhancing students' skills in communication, teamwork, and strategic thinking.
  • Exemplifying high performance — from punctuality and resilience to effort, focus, and emotional regulation.
  • Creating a competitive environment where learning and gaming are seen as elite training, not mere entertainment.
  • Providing 1:1 mentorship — identifying obstacles, recognizing achievements, and supporting students in maintaining their progress.

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Crafting lesson plans or grading assignments — no need to develop instruction or teach from textbooks.
  • Managing a classroom traditionally — no lectures or group instruction required.
  • Allowing students to coast — this isn’t a gaming free-for-all or a laid-back summer camp. You'll challenge them.
  • Maintaining a quiet, compliant setting — your role is to channel energy, not suppress it.

Esports Coach Key Responsibilities

Create and maintain a vibrant, high-performance environment that enhances academic focus and personal development, driven by eSports.

Basic Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in any discipline
  • Proven track record of elite performance (e.g., Division 1 athlete, academic excellence, competitive gamer, etc.)
  • Experience in coaching, mentoring, or leading youth to surpass ambitious goals
  • High energy and presence — capable of motivating, redirecting, and inspiring 10–14-year-olds in dynamic settings
  • Passion for eSports, competitive gaming, technology, or computer science
  • Legal eligibility to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
  • Commitment to working in-person in Austin, TX

Nice-to-have Requirements

  • Background in high-performance settings (e.g., athletics, military, startups)
  • Proven ability to turn underperforming youth into focused, driven individuals
  • Knowledge of Fortnite, Rocket League, or other popular competitive titles among Gen Alpha
