Job Description

About the Role Write Seattle is looking for tutors with specialized training in structured literacy to work one-on-one with students who have dyslexia, dysgraphia, or other language-based learning differences, as well as younger students building foundational reading and writing skills. This work typically involves explicit, multisensory instruction in areas such as phonological awareness, decoding, spelling, and fluency. We do not provide a curriculum, materials, or methods; tutors bring their own training and resources, assess where each student is, and design the right path forward based on the learner's needs. Tutors choose when, where, and with whom they are open to working. We do not have an office, so tutors generally meet students at public libraries. Building up to your desired number of hours usually takes some time, and even our busiest tutors rarely exceed 20 hours per week, since families typically seek tutoring during after-school hours and on weekends. There are some hoops to jump through in getting started, and students will often work with the same tutor for a full academic year or more, so this position will not make sense if you're just looking for a couple months of work. Requirements Training in a recognized structured literacy methodology (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, Barton, Lindamood-Bell, or equivalent). Enough experience delivering one-on-one reading intervention that you can work independently with students from the start. Bachelor's degree. Strong organizational and communication skills. Patient, warm, confident demeanor. Certified reading specialists with structured literacy training are also encouraged to apply. About the Company Write Seattle is a very small business that tries its darndest to do right by tutors. We are a simple, streamlined enterprise, and tutors who contract through Write Seattle earn significantly more per hour than the industry average. This enables them to focus on what matters: providing outstanding, evidence-based support to students and their families.
