Job Description

Position Summary:

Students who read have the power to succeed, and we’re on a mission to make sure every student is a strong reader!

How does it work? Every school day you’ll see pairs of students for 20 minutes of reading practice. When your time together is up, you’ll help your students return to their classroom(s) and pick up your next pair for tutoring. You’ll repeat until all your students are served.
