We’re looking for a resilient and committed Maths Tutor to deliver targeted catch-up tuition to Year 11 students who need extra support ahead of their GCSE exams. This role involves working with small groups or individuals, many of whom have gaps in learning and may display challenging behaviour.
You’ll play a key role in rebuilding confidence, closing knowledge gaps, and helping students feel more in control of their learning. Strong behaviour management, calm authority, and the ability to build respectful relationships with teenagers are essential.
This is a rewarding role for someone who believes in second chances and understands that progress isn’t always linear.
Education sits at the heart of everything. Learning is purposeful, practical, and linked to real life so students understand not just what they are learning, but why it matters. For Year 11 pupils preparing for GCSEs, that support is more important than ever.
