Reading & Writing Tutor

SiSTEM

Southlake, TX โ€ข On-site

Contractor

Re-posted 27 days ago


Job description

About the Role:
SiSTEM is hiring experienced reading and writing tutors to work with motivated students and families in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area.
This is not a volume tutoring gig. Our tutors work as trusted academic partners with families who value expertise, helping students become stronger readers, clearer writers, and more confident communicators at every level.
If you can tutor any of the following, we want to hear from you:
Elementary Reading & Writing (Grades K–5):
  • Phonics, decoding, and reading fluency.
  • Reading comprehension strategies.
  • Sight words and vocabulary building.
  • Handwriting, spelling, and grammar basics.
  • Sentence and paragraph writing.
  • Creative and narrative writing.
Middle School ELA (Grades 6–8):
  • Reading comprehension and literary analysis.
  • Essay structure and paragraph development.
  • Grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
  • Narrative, persuasive, and expository writing.
  • Vocabulary development and context clues.
  • Research skills and citation basics.

High School English (Grades 9–12):
  • Close reading and critical analysis.
  • Literary analysis essays.
  • Argumentative, analytical, and research writing.
  • Grammar and style refinement.
  • MLA and APA formatting.
  • College application essays and personal statements.
Advanced and Honors-Level English:
  • Honors and Pre-AP English.
  • AP English Language and Composition.
  • AP English Literature and Composition.
  • IB English.
  • Dual Credit College English / Composition.
Test Prep Reading & Writing Sections:
  • SAT Reading and Writing.
  • ACT English and Reading.
  • STAAR Reading and Writing (Grades 3–8 and English I / II EOC).
  • TSI Reading and Writing.
  • ISEE / SSAT Verbal and Reading Comprehension Sections.
  • GED Language Arts.

Specialized Reading & Writing Support:
  • Dyslexia-informed reading instruction.
  • ESL / ELL reading and writing support.
  • Reluctant reader engagement.
  • Study skills and note-taking strategies.
You do not need to tutor every level. If you specialize in early reading only, or AP Literature only, or college essay coaching only, or anything in between, we want you on our team.
About SiSTEM:
SiSTEM is an academic guidance platform that builds personalized roadmaps for students in grades K–12. Every student on SiSTEM has a plan. Tutors are a key part of that plan and are matched to students based on specific needs, not random availability.

We started as a tutoring agency in Texas, grew to 300+ tutors serving 10,000+ students, and are now launching a platform that gives educators better tools, better-matched students, and the ability to build a real client base.

What You'll Do:
  • Work one-on-one with students in grades K–12 to provide focused reading and writing instruction at their level
  • Help students develop deeper comprehension, critical thinking, and written expression, not just complete assignments
  • Build reading fluency, vocabulary, and a genuine connection to reading
  • Strengthen writing mechanics, structure, and voice across genres
  • Identify and close gaps in foundational literacy skills that are holding students back
  • Align your sessions with each student's broader academic roadmap through SiSTEM's planning tools
  • Communicate with families on progress and strategy when appropriate
  • Maintain high standards of preparation and professionalism
What We're Looking For:
We are selective about who joins the SiSTEM team.
Strong candidates typically have:
  • 3+ years of teaching, tutoring, or academic mentoring experience in reading, writing, or English Language Arts
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the reading or writing levels listed above
  • Experience working with motivated students who are in honors, Pre-AP, AP, gifted, or test prep settings
  • A track record of helping students improve reading levels, write with more clarity and confidence, or master skills they previously struggled with
  • Clear, patient communication and the ability to make reading and writing feel accessible to students who think they're "not a reader" or "not a good writer"
  • Professional reliability

Bonus:
Current or former ELA teachers, published writers or journalists who tutor, educators with degrees in English, education, or literacy, tutors with dyslexia or reading intervention training, college essay coaches with admissions results.

Why Tutors Join SiSTEM:
  • You set your own rates. And you keep 100% of what you earn.
  • Matched with students who fit your expertise. No random assignments. Students are matched to you based on subject, grade level, learning needs, and your teaching strengths.
  • Bring your current students with you. Already have clients? Add them to the platform for free. Use SiSTEM's tools to manage your existing students alongside new ones at no extra cost.
  • Families are already invested. SiSTEM parents are paying for a plan. They're engaged, responsive, and serious about their child's growth.
  • We handle the marketing. You don't have to find clients. We bring families to you.
  • Tools to manage your business. Scheduling, session tracking, and student relationship tools built into the platform.
  • Build a long-term client base. Students on SiSTEM stay for years, not weeks.
