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. 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, track progress, conduct skill assessments, and enter scores into data software. The position includes regular meetings with the school's onsite coach and a commitment to personal growth through coaching and training. Positions are available for the 2026–27 school year and run from August 2026 through June 2027. The full-time schedule is 35 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks with holidays or school release days, during daytime school hours, Monday through Friday. Part-time schedules of 25 or 15 hours per week are also available. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment for the program year; most hours are completed through regular site-based service, with occasional approved service or training outside the school day as needed. Full-time AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck every two weeks at $17.50 per hour served, along with the listed benefits and education benefits.
