Virtual 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 the turning point. The instant a learner stops fumbling and begins reading with purpose. They glance up and declare, "I've got this." If that's the impact you aim to create daily, this will be the right fit.
Unbound is a remote-first virtual school designed for genuine progress, not hours logged. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, find joy in the experience, and graduate with measurable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that keep learners on course and reaching milestones. This position fits individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's not suited for those seeking rigid lesson plans or who hesitate when working with data.
If you're ready to guide struggling readers toward significant improvement—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for every student—we should talk.
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 rapidly
- Customize activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, using findings to inform upcoming sessions
- Lead structured motivation touchpoints that foster confidence, resilience, and pride in achievement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large-scale, whole-group lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Adhere to a pre-written program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback
- Serve as a passive "technology monitor" lacking substantive instruction and relationship
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
Key responsibilities

- Experience working with students who have dyslexia or related reading difficulties
