Reading Tutor
About The Position
Reading Corps Reading Tutors serve at local schools to help students improve their reading skills. Tutors are trained to deliver proven activities and receive ongoing coaching. Each school day, they work with pairs of students in 20-minute reading-practice sessions, follow a schedule to serve students, and encourage students as they build skills and confidence. Tutors assess student skills, track progress, enter scores into data software, and meet regularly with the school's onsite coach. The program is powered by AmeriCorps members and administered by Ampact, a nonprofit organization. The 2026–27 school-year positions run January 2026 through June 2027.
