Reading Tutor
About The Position
Reading Corps is hiring Reading Tutors to help students improve their reading skills at a local school. Tutors receive training in proven reading activities and ongoing coaching. On school days, tutors work with pairs of students for 20-minute reading practice sessions, help students return to their classrooms, and follow a schedule to serve their assigned students. Tutors encourage students as they build reading skills and confidence, assess skills, record student scores in data software, and meet regularly with the school’s onsite coach. The positions are for the 2026–27 school year, running January 2027 through May 2027. Full-time positions are 37.5 hours per week, with fewer hours in weeks with holidays or school release days; part-time positions of 27.5 hours per week are also available. Work is during daytime school hours, Monday through Friday, with no weekends and time off on holidays and school release days. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment and may occasionally complete approved service or training outside the school day as needed. Full-time AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck (stipend) every two weeks at $17.50 per hour served. Benefits include individual health insurance with the monthly premium fully covered, child care assistance subject to family size and income, a member assistance program, education awards, federal student loan forbearance and interest repayment, and time accrual toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
