Job description

\"I got my time back, and I still get to be passionate and work with students.\"

— Christie, former school principal, now Alpha Reading Specialist

Alpha is hiring.

• Onsite in Dorado, Puerto Rico


• $100,000 salary, paid weekly


• Relocation support included

Do you believe every child deserves to read at grade level (or above), but hate watching broken systems waste their potential?

At Alpha School, we're proving literacy breakthroughs don't require 6-hour school days. Our 2-Hour Learning model fuses AI-adaptive tools with expert instruction to accelerate reading gains. Your mission as our Reading Interventionist: design and deliver workshops that drive measurable phonics, fluency, and comprehension gains for early elementary students.

This isn't lesson-plan paperwork. It's data-driven instruction, tech collaboration, and building a reading program that works for thousands of students.

Dorado perks: Pristine beaches minutes away. Vibrant bilingual community and easy access to San Juan's cultural scene while maintaining small-town quality of life.

Lead learning. Love growing.

What You Will Be Doing

• Delivering adaptive reading workshops building phonics, comprehension, and fluency skills


• Designing personalized motivational sessions using gamified literacy milestones


• Analyzing student progress data to refine instruction and surface actionable insights


• Collaborating with engineers to evaluate and enhance AI literacy tools based on classroom results


• Developing scalable, AI-enhanced content that enables early elementary students to achieve grade-level proficiency

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Lecturing from the front of a classroom — students learn through self-guided AI apps, not passive instruction


• Following a pre-packaged curriculum or scripted lesson plans — you design your own workshops from scratch


• Teaching academic subjects — your focus is reading workshops and motivational coaching, not math or science delivery


• Babysitting or crowd control — every session has a clear learning objective and measurable outcome


• Working in isolation — you collaborate directly with engineers building the AI tools your students use daily

Reading Interventionist Key Responsibilities

Ensure every K-2 student in your cohort reads at or above grade level through AI-accelerated workshops that make phonics learning engaging, measurable, and fun

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in any subject, plus either a Master's in reading instruction or a structured literacy certification such as Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, IMSE, CERI, LETRS, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent


• 2+ years of recent, full-time K-2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical setting, using systematic phonics or structured literacy


• Skilled at administering and analyzing reading assessments, grouping students, and designing differentiated reading lessons without relying on a scripted curriculum


• An energetic, engaging presence with K-2 students, plus fluency in English and Spanish


• Proficient with AI or adaptive learning tools, able to interpret student performance data, and willing to adapt as the tools change


• Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship and willingness to work on-site in Dorado
