We Are Hiring!

Learn the Leading Dyslexia Reading and Spelling Program at No Cost to You

• Do you have late afternoon and evenings free and like working one-on-one with children?
• Want a part-time job that will add meaning to your life and give it purpose?
• Want to teach children with learning difficulties or the characteristics of dyslexia how to read, write and spell?
• We will teach you the leading way to do this using Intensive Structured Literacy, the gold star method approved by the International Dyslexia Association.

Aspire Academy and the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque are in need of current teachers, college students or college-educated adults who can learn the reading and spelling methods that will teach students who have the characteristics of dyslexia. 

We will provide 60 hours of free training over the summer on Mondays at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque (CFGD), 700 Locust Street.  75% of students who are tutored by us are on scholarship.  The training is through a generous donation by the CFGD.  This will be our third year of providing this training, and we currently tutor 40 local students, including the Peosta, Iowa area.
