Virtual Reading Specialist, Unbound Academy; Remote

You recognize the turning point. The instant a student moves from guessing to reading with command. They meet your eyes and declare, "I can do this." If that's the work you're drawn to every day, this is your place.

Unbound is a remote-first online school designed for genuine progress, not hours logged. We're rethinking student learning so they advance more quickly, find joy in the journey, and graduate with measurable confidence.

In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention sessions. The remainder, you'll conduct brief motivation touchpoints that keep students focused and goal-oriented. This position is ideal for individuals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It's unsuitable for anyone seeking a rigid script or uncomfortable with data-driven work.

If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve significant progress—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we want to hear from you.

• Plan and facilitate virtual small-group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8

• Tailor activities across varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and associated reading challenges

• Facilitate structured motivation touchpoints that cultivate confidence, resilience, and pride in development

• Deliver large, whole-class lessons or present from a rigid curriculum
