We are seeking tutors who can make learning enjoyable and accessible while helping pupils overcome academic difficulties, improve their knowledge and develop greater confidence.

Assignments may be delivered in pupils' homes, schools or alternative provision environments.

• Monitor progress and maintain accurate session reports.
• Encourage participation, independence and positive learning behaviours.
• Provide support to pupils with SEND, emotional and behavioural needs.
