The most meaningful support you can offer a teenage entrepreneur is refusing to accept mediocrity. You understand that high expectations are not a burden—they signal your belief in what the student is capable of achieving. If this resonates with you, continue reading.
You'll work with high school students building legitimate companies with $1M growth potential. These are not academic exercises or mock ventures. Approximately 60-65% of your time will be dedicated to 1:1 coaching: pinpointing where each founder is blocked, isolating the most impactful next step, and ensuring accountability to a defined action plan. The remaining 35-40% is divided between academic monitoring and facilitating workshops designed to deliver practical skills, not passive content.
This is not a conventional teaching position. You are accountable for student outcomes across three dimensions: venture traction, academic performance, and personal development. You'll rely on dashboards, business metrics, and academic records to coach with clarity and precision, not guesswork. If a student's grades begin to decline, you step in before it escalates. If a venture hits a plateau, you surface the actual issue, not the easier conversation.
You begin by understanding each student's business, their capabilities, and their friction points. Over time, you become the voice they trust when challenged, because you've operated in high-stakes environments yourself. The payoff is seeing a 16-year-old arrive with a concept and leave with a live business, the systems to sustain it, and academics that preserve future opportunities.
If you've been searching for a role where your operational background directly influences the next wave of entrepreneurs, apply now. If you prefer scripted lesson plans, predictable schedules, or environments where effort alone is celebrated, this is not the right fit.
