Reading Specialist, The Novatio School (Remote) - $60,000/year USD

You recognize the turning point. A learner who once hesitated now reads with clarity and assurance. The uncertainty fades. The trajectory shifts. If guiding students to that turning point is the work that drives you, this position is designed for you.

Novatio operates as a fully remote school committed to advancing student achievement through individualized support, rigorous teaching, and quantifiable results. We understand that learners facing reading challenges require more than digital tools and practice sheets. They require strategic intervention, ongoing reinforcement, and instructors who respond adaptively in the moment.

In this position, you will provide virtual reading intervention for students across grades 3–8, while fostering the self-assurance and determination essential for sustained progress. You will interpret diagnostic data to identify areas of need, modify teaching approaches promptly, and design interventions aligned with each student's current level. You will also conduct brief motivational sessions that sustain engagement, accountability, and pride in achievement.

This position suits someone who prizes independence, rapid feedback, and observable results. If you seek the ability to customize instruction while supporting students in achieving documented improvement in reading fluency and comprehension, we invite your application.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Conducting large-format classes using a standardized, inflexible curriculum

• Serving as a passive facilitator for software-driven learning platforms


• Relying on superficial rewards rather than cultivating genuine student motivation and self-confidence
