Our GCSE tutors play a vital role in bridging learning gaps for students with complex Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with Autism, ADHD, SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs, and those working below expected levels.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver one-to-one GCSE Maths and English lessons tailored to SEN learning profiles.

  • Adapt lesson content and pace to support emotional regulation and learning style.

  • Support the student in developing subject knowledge, study skills and exam confidence.

  • Build a trusting and consistent rapport to create a safe and supportive learning environment.

  • Monitor progress and provide clear, constructive feedback to parents/carers or professionals as needed.

Essential Requirements:
  • Minimum 1 year of experience teaching or tutoring Maths and English.
