Reading Interventionist, Unbound Academy (Remote) - $60,000/year USD
About the role
You know the switch. The moment a student stops guessing and starts reading with control. They look up and say, “I can do this.” If that’s the work you want to do every day, you’ll feel at home here. Unbound is a remote-first online school built for real growth, not seat time. We’re redesigning how students learn so they progress faster, enjoy the process, and leave with confidence you can measure. Most weeks, you’ll run high-impact intervention sessions. The rest, you’ll lead quick motivation check-ins that keep students on track and hitting goals. This role suits people who like autonomy, tight feedback loops, and outcomes they can see. It’s not for anyone who wants a fixed script or shies away from data. If you want to help struggling readers make meaningful gains—and you want the freedom to tailor your approach to each student—we’d like to meet you.
Unbound Academy is Arizona’s first virtual, tuition‑free charter school, designed to make grades 4‑8 limitless, personal, and exciting. This isn’t just an alternative to the traditional school system. It’s a revolutionary way for your family to reclaim time, unlock potential, and reimagine what education can be. At Unbound Academy, students can master their core academics in just two hours a day. Our teachers use an AI‑powered learning model to adjust to each child’s pace and interests, ensuring progress happens twice as fast as in a typical classroom. By cutting out the fluff and streamlining coursework, we not only make a significant academic impact—we make learning fun, personal, and incredibly effective.
