Reading Intervention Specialist, Unbound Academy - $60,000/year USD

You recognize the shift. The instant a learner stops guessing at words and begins reading with purpose. They glance up and tell you, “I can do this.” If that’s the impact you seek daily, this is where you belong. Unbound is a remote‑first online school designed for measurable progress, not compliance with seat time. We’re restructuring student learning so they advance more quickly, engage deeply in the process, and graduate with demonstrable confidence. Most of your time will be spent conducting high‑impact intervention sessions. The remainder involves leading brief motivational check‑ins that maintain momentum and goal achievement. This position fits professionals who value independence, rapid feedback cycles, and visible results. It does not suit those seeking rigid scripts or avoiding data‑driven work. If you’re ready to help struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you value the flexibility to customize your methods for each learner—we want to speak with you.
