Virtual Reading Specialist $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You recognize the shift. The instant a learner stops stumbling and begins reading with clarity. They glance up and declare, "I've got this." If that describes the work you want every day, this is your place.
Unbound is a remote-first online school designed for measurable progress, not logged hours. We're restructuring how students learn so they advance more quickly, find the journey rewarding, and graduate with confidence that's quantifiable.
In most weeks, you'll deliver focused intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that keep learners engaged and achieving targets. This position fits people who value independence, rapid feedback, and visible results. It's not suited to anyone seeking a rigid manual or avoiding metrics.
If you're committed to helping challenged readers achieve substantial improvement—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we should connect.
What you will be doing
- Plan and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for grades 3–8 students
- Leverage reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction rapidly
- Adapt activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress using clear, repeatable methods and apply the data to shape upcoming sessions
- Conduct structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, determination, and pride in advancement
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver large, full-class lessons or present from a static curriculum
- Execute a pre-written program without tailoring to learner needs and live feedback
- Serve as a passive "software supervisor" lacking meaningful teaching and rapport
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to generate enduring motivation
