Online English Teacher for American Schools (Contract)

About Us

American children have been suffering from falling literacy rates, with 1 in 3 performing below grade level. As an American-owned company, our mission at Air Reading is to make high-quality reading instruction accessible to every child. We partner with U.S. elementary schools to support students most in need of intervention, providing research-based, small-group virtual teaching that accelerates literacy growth.

Air Reading is backed by research. A randomized controlled trial conducted by Johns Hopkins University found that Air Reading students scored significantly higher on reading assessments than their peers. Our program is also recognized as ESSA Tier 1 (Strong Evidence) and is listed by Proven Tutoring, a national initiative that highlights programs with the strongest research backing. This means you’ll be joining a team whose impact is independently verified and nationally recognized.
