Bilingual (French) Online Reading Teacher/Literacy Specialist

Bilingual (French) Online Reading Teacher/Literacy Specialist

THE OPPORTUNITY

Are you a bilingual classroom teacher who is passionate about teaching guided reading skills and can commit to teaching 15-30 hours a week online? Do you want the opportunity to earn extra money from the comfort of your own home? We are seeking educators (active, on leave or retired) with bilingual elementary reading experience who can start work immediately.

Hoot Reading is an online education company that connects emerging readers with experienced teachers to practice guided reading aloud over the award-winning Hoot Reading App. Our lessons are one to one and are personalized to the individual child.

We are currently recruiting bilingual teachers across Canada and the United States to help young students boost their reading skills – phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency and comprehension, in English and Spanish. Our teachers will read online for 20 minutes with children from K to Gr.4 at a range of reading levels and struggling readers up to Gr. 9. Their job is to listen and provide constructive feedback in real time as the child reads out loud. The Spanish program will be offered to students in bilingual classrooms, who speak Spanish as a first language and want to strengthen their skills, or who are learning Spanish as a second language in school.
