What are the responsibilities and job description for the Reading Intervention Specialist, Prequel (Remote) - $60,000/year USD position at Crossover?
You recognize the turning point. That instant when a student stops making wild guesses and begins reading with intention. They glance up and declare, "I can do this." If this is the kind of work you're drawn to each day, this role will feel like the right fit.
Prequel is a remote-first online school designed for genuine academic growth, not clock-watching. We're rethinking student learning to accelerate progress, increase engagement, and produce measurable confidence.
In most weeks, you'll facilitate high-impact intervention sessions. During the remainder, you'll conduct brief motivation check-ins that keep students aligned with their targets and moving forward. This position is ideal for individuals who value independence, immediate feedback, and visible results. It's not suitable for those seeking scripted instruction or who are uncomfortable working with data.
If you're committed to helping struggling readers achieve substantial progress—and you want the latitude to customize your methods for each learner—we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
What You Will Be Doing
Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through personalized virtual interventions and motivational support that cultivates confidence.
Basic Requirements
Prequel is a group of education brands that help the world's most ambitious kids learn 21st-century life skills by building projects with real-world feedback and impact. Through entrepreneurship and world-class mentors, Prequel helps middle and high school students build critical life skills not taught in school.
We believe that the best way to learn anything is through entrepreneurship.
We take teens from potential to progress. We believe that society underestimates what ambitious teens can achieve.
Starting now, teens can find what they're passionate about and accelerate their careers by getting hands-on experience - instead of waiting to "grow up.”
There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is limited. Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting and want to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!
