This is a rewarding opportunity for teachers who are passionate about delivering personalised education and helping vulnerable students build confidence, re-engage with learning, and achieve positive outcomes.

The Role

• Deliver tailored 1:1 tuition sessions to students with SEN and additional needs
• Plan and deliver engaging lessons in core subjects including Maths, English, and Science
• Adapt lessons to suit individual learning styles, academic ability, and EHCP targets
• Build positive and trusting relationships with students, families, schools, and professionals
