Virtual Reading Specialist, Unbound Academy; Remote
Position: Virtual Reading Specialist, Unbound Academy (Remote) - $60,000/year USD You recognize the turning point. The instant a student moves from guessing to reading with command.

- Tailor activities across varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges
- Monitor progress systematically and consistently, using data to inform subsequent sessions
- Facilitate structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, resilience, and pride in development
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Deliver large, whole‑class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
- Execute a pre‑written program without modifying based on student needs and immediate feedback
- Function as a passive "software supervisor" without substantive instruction and rapport
- Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation
