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 activities and ongoing coaching. During each school day, tutors work with pairs of students for 20-minute reading practice sessions, following a schedule until all assigned students have received support. Tutors encourage students as they build their skills and confidence. Positions are for the 2026–27 school year, running August 2026 through June 2027. Full-time positions are 35 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks with holidays or school release days; part-time positions are also available at 25 or 15 hours per week. Hours are during the day and correspond with school start and end times, Monday through Friday. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment for the program year, and may occasionally complete approved service or training outside the school day as needed. Full-time members receive a paycheck (stipend) every two weeks at $17.50 per hour served.
