Join us and our mission! The Reading Bridge is in need of part-time tutors living in Nassau, Duval, St. Johns and Clay counties in Florida.
We provide the training, mentoring, and support for those who want to make a difference in the lives of children and communities. Tutors are supported every step of the way as they learn best practices for joy-filled teaching. You do not need to be a State of Florida certified educator to apply. Our methodology, curriculum, and mentorship is offered to you through online course work and in-person learning.
What We Offer Our Tutors

- Science-backed curriculum for tutors to support their students

Tutors meet 1:1 with students for 30 or 60 minute long sessions several times during the week to provide scaffolded, explicit reading instruction, maintain and track student data, communicate weekly with parents and other educators, and build relationships with The Reading Bridge community for on-going learning and professional growth.
Our Core Belief
A child is grown within the community. A community is grown from a child. Tutors at The Reading Bridge share the core belief that reading empowers children for academic success now and is a gateway to lifelong opportunity. We know that through guided and individualized instruction, a child will build skills to become a confident and joy-filled reader. At The Reading Bridge, we impact children, families, and communities.
