Reading Tutor, gt.school - $100,000/year USD

On-site position: Georgetown (Austin), TX. Relocation assistance available $100,000 annual salary, full-time. Health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one Structured literacy certification required (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, CERI, LETRS, or equivalent) The greatest disservice to a gifted six-year-old reading on grade level is accepting that as sufficient. If you carry a structured literacy credential and have witnessed how systematic phonics instruction reshapes emerging readers, consider what occurs when those same techniques reach children who are not behind—they are merely unchallenged. The result is not incremental growth, but acceleration at 5–10x the typical rate. At gt.school, you finally deploy your complete skill set. No commercial reading series. No mandated district curriculum map. You lead focused early literacy workshops for gifted children aged 5–8, conduct running records, organize your own ability-based groups, and build each lesson directly from assessment data. Adaptive technology manages content delivery. Your role is the element no software can replicate: guiding a select group of exceptional students to surpass benchmarks months or years ahead of schedule. 100% of students meet their adaptive platform targets. Over 90% provide strong evaluations. This outcome is standard when a credentialed literacy specialist works with small cohorts of gifted learners without institutional obstacles. You will observe first graders who entered at benchmark independently reading chapter books. That kind of leap is what most reading interventionists spend entire careers hoping to witness even once. If you possess the certification, the phonics mastery, and the belief that gifted children deserve true acceleration rather than lateral enrichment, submit your application today. What You Will Be Doing Leading small-group phonics instruction for gifted K–2 learners, with each session designed from live assessment data rather than scripted materials Conducting running records, evaluating reading proficiency, and establishing your own differentiated teaching groups Facilitating 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that use school-based incentives, performance tracking, and individual rapport to inspire ambitious goals in adaptive platforms Monitoring live student performance within adaptive learning systems and adjusting instruction as data signals change What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering whole-class lectures. Learning occurs through self-paced digital tools, not teacher-led presentations Overseeing 25+ students. Your focus is small groups of gifted children Adhering to district scope-and-sequence calendars or preparing students for state assessments Teaching content outside literacy (no math, science, or social studies responsibilities) Drafting IEPs, attending compliance meetings, or managing district administrative workflows Reading Tutor Key Responsibilities Drive gifted K–2 students to achieve multiple years of reading growth in compressed timelines using adaptive platforms and precision phonics methods.
