Remote Structured Literacy Tutor / Substitute Teacher

Job Description

About Harmon School

Harmon School is a small, fully remote K–12 school serving students across the United States and internationally. We specialize in small-group and individualized instruction and work with many students with dyslexia, ADHD, executive-functioning challenges, and other learning differences.

Position Overview

We are currently looking for experienced educators to join our team primarily as Remote Reading Intervention / Structured Literacy Tutors and Substitute Teachers.

Tutors work one-on-one with students in grades K–12 using explicit, systematic, multisensory reading instruction. We are especially interested in educators with experience in Orton-Gillingham (OG), structured literacy, dyslexia intervention, or similar evidence-based reading programs.

We are also building our pool of Remote Substitute Teachers. Candidates who are qualified for both roles may tutor regularly and also pick up occasional substitute teaching hours as available.

Who Thrives at Harmon

Harmon School is a small, collaborative school, and personality and communication matter to us. Our teachers are warm, engaging, dependable, and genuinely enjoy working with students.

We value educators who are curious, enthusiastic, have interests and passions outside of work, and bring some of that energy into their relationships with students.

Because we work remotely, clear and responsive communication is especially important. Team members should regularly monitor email and school messages and respond promptly when something needs their attention.

These positions are especially well suited for experienced educators looking for flexible, meaningful part-time work rather than a traditional full-time teaching schedule. They can be a great fit for teachers taking time away from full-time classroom teaching, educators with other professional or family commitments, retired teachers, or those simply looking to add a few rewarding hours of teaching each week.

Reading Intervention Tutor — $50/hour

Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience providing reading intervention, preferably one-on-one

• Experience with Orton-Gillingham, structured literacy, or another systematic multisensory reading approach

• Special education experience

• Experience working with students with dyslexia and other learning differences

• Strong knowledge of phonological awareness, phonics, decoding, encoding, fluency, and reading comprehension

• Professional teaching, tutoring, or intervention experience

• Ability to build strong relationships with students in a remote environment

Remote Substitute Teacher — $35/hour

Substitute teachers provide occasional coverage for live virtual K–12 classes.

Candidates for substitute teaching should have:

• Current or previous teacher certification

• Classroom teaching experience

• Experience working with students with special needs and learning differences

• Confidence leading live online instruction

• Flexibility to accept occasional substitute assignments

Additional Requirements

All candidates must:

• Be authorized to work in the United States

• Have reliable high-speed internet, a computer, webcam, and appropriate remote teaching environment

• Communicate professionally with students, families, and staff

• Successfully complete a background check

• Provide documentation of relevant degrees, certifications, and professional credentials

• Provide three professional references, preferably including supervisors, school leaders, or colleagues familiar with the candidate’s teaching and work with students

These are remote positions. Scheduling varies based on student needs and teacher availability.

We hope to find educators who want to become part of the Harmon School community over time. Hours may begin modestly through tutoring and substitute teaching, with opportunities for additional part-time or full-time teaching responsibilities as our school continues to grow.
