  • Experience teaching reading or literacy to adult learners, college students, or students requiring additional academic support.
  • Knowledge of literacy assessment, differentiated instruction, and individualized lesson planning.
  • Ability to evaluate student progress and modify instructional strategies based on individual needs.
  • Strong classroom facilitation, communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
  • Patient, supportive, and student-focused approach with a commitment to helping learners achieve measurable progress.
