Reading Specialist $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You recognize that shift. The instant a learner stops fumbling and begins reading with intention. They meet your eyes and realize, "I've got this." If that's the impact you're after each day, this is where you belong.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed around measurable progress, not hours logged. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, engage more deeply, and graduate with confidence backed by evidence.
In most weeks, you'll conduct high-stakes intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll facilitate brief motivational touchpoints that sustain momentum and help students reach milestones. This position fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback, and visible results. It's not suitable for those seeking rigid lesson plans or hesitant to engage with performance metrics.
If your goal is to support struggling readers in achieving substantial progress—and you value the latitude to customize your methods for every learner—let's connect.
What you will be doing
- Plan and facilitate virtual one-on-one and small-group reading intervention sessions for learners in grades 3–8
- Leverage reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction promptly
- Adapt activities across varied reading levels, providing targeted support for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and apply the insights to inform subsequent sessions
- Lead structured motivational touchpoints that foster confidence, resilience, and pride in achievement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, full-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Execute a scripted program without tailoring to student requirements and live feedback
- Serve as a passive "software supervisor" lacking genuine instruction and rapport
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
