Requirements include 3+ years working with children, 2+ years teaching reading in K–3, and structured-literacy training. Relocation support is provided; full-time W2 with benefits.

Qualifications

• Willing to work on-site with relocation support
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4–9
• At least 2 years teaching reading in grades K–3 within the last 5 years

Responsibilities

• Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal
• Running targeted structured-literacy sessions with two to four students. Diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed, and checking for transfer
• Leading morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving
• Driving students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification
• Staying with your students through lunch, recess, closing, and reading interventions, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child
