Bookworm Reading Instructor & Enrollment Advisor (Middle School Program)

About Us
Kyo Standard is a premium academic enrichment company focused on helping students develop advanced thinking skills in reading, writing, and standardized test performance. Our programs are designed for motivated students and families who value intellectual growth and academic excellence.

We are launching the Bookworm Reading Program, a structured literary academy for middle school students that develops advanced reading comprehension, vocabulary, and analytical thinking through guided discussion and curated literature.

We are looking for thoughtful, engaging educators who enjoy working with students and are also comfortable speaking with parents about the program.

About the Role

This position combines two responsibilities:

• Teaching Bookworm literary seminars
• Speaking with parents interested in enrolling their student

Instructors lead small-group reading seminars for middle school students and occasionally take scheduled calls with prospective parents to explain the program and help them determine if Bookworm is a good fit.

Because instructors understand the curriculum and student experience, they are often the best people to communicate the value of the program to families.
