• Bachelor’s degree paired with specialized certification in reading pedagogy (e.g., Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, or equivalent)
• Minimum 2 years delivering targeted small‑group reading interventions to early elementary students
• Capable of evaluating reading proficiency, organizing student cohorts, and crafting differentiated lessons independent of prepackaged curricula
• Experienced with AI/adaptive learning platforms and adept at interpreting student engagement patterns within those systems
