About the role

About Harmon SchoolHarmon 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 HarmonHarmon 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.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
