What does a reading tutor do?

A reading tutor provides extra support for students learning to read, working closely with students to build reading skills and comprehension outside of the normal classroom environment. As a reading tutor, your duties include preparing lessons, leading students through exercises, following along with students while they read books, and providing feedback and encouragement. You give regular reports to parents and school administrators, and may suggest adjustments to curricula to suit students’ individual needs. Some reading instructors work directly for schools while others are self-employed and work on a freelance basis.
