Reading Tutor – OpenLiteracy (POOL) Talent Pool Application | Remote | Part-time Contract (1099) | $28/hour | 10-20 hours/week Please note: This is a talent pool posting, not an immediate opening.

By applying, you'll be evaluated and added to our pool of qualified tutors.

We draw from this pool on a rolling basis as new tutoring positions become available, so timelines vary and applying does not guarantee a placement or a specific start date.

Candidates who are accepted into the pool will be contacted directly when a match is identified.

About OpenLiteracy 40% of fourth graders in this country read below grade level.

At OpenLiteracy, our mission is to change that, one student at a time.

We offer a suite of products and services designed to meet students and educators where they are: a purchasable reading curriculum grounded in the Science of Reading, Tier 2 intervention support for classroom educators, and high-impact, individualized Tier 3 tutoring.

We don't just teach reading.

We grow readers.

We're looking for passionate, certified educators to join our tutoring team and make a real difference in children's literacy outcomes across the country.

The Role Once matched from the pool, you'll work 1:1 with students in grades K-6 through our secure online platform, using a curriculum designed by our team.

No lesson planning required!

Sessions are 25 minutes each, and you'll be matched with the same students over time, giving you the continuity needed to build the trusting relationships that struggling readers need most.

Great OpenLiteracy tutors balance explicit instruction with meaningful engagement with text, weaving comprehension into every step so students can have rich, confident conversations at any reading level.

Why Tutor With Us Fully Remote All you need is a reliable device, strong Wi-Fi, and a quiet workspace.

No commute, no classroom setup, and no lesson planning.

Competitive Pay Tutors begin at a starting rate of $28/hour once placed.

You're also paid for student no-shows and late cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled time.

You are paid for any tutoring sessions and meetings you attend.

Initial asynchronous orientation is compensated at a flat rate of $100.

Always 1:1 Tutoring All tutoring sessions are 1:1, meaning you can focus on building rapport and maximizing instruction for one student at a time.

Requirements

Requires a current or expired K-6 teaching certification and classroom experience with a strong grounding in the Science of Reading. Candidates must have U.S. work authorization and be available for at least 10 hours per week during peak ET hours.
