We are seeking part-time Tutors in and around North Somerset who are capable of teaching GCSE English, Maths, and/or Science. If you possess expertise in other subjects or levels, we encourage you to reach out for potential opportunities.

Core Responsibilities:

Your primary responsibility will be to provide customized tutoring to young people aged 7-18 years.

Each placement will consist of 2-10 hours per week, with timings being negotiable. Once established, sessions will occur at a consistent time each week during term time only.

Contract Type:

Self-Employed

Compensation:

Hourly rate of £28.36.

Candidate Profile:

We expect you to design and implement a tailored tutoring program for the young individuals assigned to you. An adaptable and flexible approach is essential, as you will need to cater to each young person's specific educational needs as outlined in their EHCP.

Providing one-on-one tutoring, you should work creatively and intuitively, demonstrating empathy towards the young person's requirements while offering professional and reliable support.

The young individuals we typically assist often have an EHCP, may experience social and emotional health challenges, and are likely not attending school. Utilizing their EHCP outcomes, you will create a learning pathway that supports their transition back to an educational environment and/or helps them achieve relevant qualifications.

• Commitment, reliability, honesty, and patience.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to differentiate planning and teaching extensively.
• A valid enhanced DBS check (or an existing DBS on the update service).
• Clear understanding of safeguarding and child protection legislation.
• Experience working with young people with an EHCP.
• Valid UK driver's license and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
• Right to live and work in the UK.

Specific Duties:

• Planning differentiated tutoring sessions based on the young person's needs.
