This boutique reading tutoring company specializes in helping struggling readers, including those with dyslexia, through personalized, one-on-one sessions.

• A positive, patient, professional, and collaborative attitude
• Recognition of the relationship between social-emotional learning and academic performance
• Ability to make sessions fun, engaging, and productive
• Ability to tailor sessions to meet individual students’ needs, interests, and personalities
• Willingness to submit to a background check
• Must be available to tutor either during the afternoons and evenings or on the weekends

Responsibilities

• Plan and teach one-on-one, targeted, personalized, Orton-Gillingham literacy sessions for struggling readers, including those with dyslexia (ages 5 - high school, though most students are elementary-aged)
• Collaborate with clients’ classroom teachers, learning specialists, and other educational professionals to ensure students' educational goals
• Manage scheduling, write session notes, and correspond with parents through an online scheduling platform

Benefits

• $60-65 per hour to start
