What does professional development and orientation look like?

One of the greatest perks of Hoot is the robust professional development opportunities to grow as an educator! After signing your contract, you'll be guided through our training before you start teaching. This consists of 16 hours, during which you will learn about Hoot Reading and our app and review Hoot’s instructional expectations and pedagogy. This content was developed by educators on our Literacy and Learning team to provide you with a teaching toolkit that supports your practice.

How do scheduling and availability work at Hoot Reading?

Teachers provide us with available times, and we match teachers to students accordingly. Teachers must provide consistent availability, meaning they are available simultaneously every day. Our peak lesson demand is Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM CT. We may ask you to give us a larger window of time than the hours you want to tutor to provide an optimal schedule based on session availability.
