• Help prepare pupils for GCSE examinations through focused revision and study support.
• Monitor student progress and provide feedback to teaching staff.
• Encourage independent learning, motivation, and confidence.
• Support teachers during lessons and contribute to a positive learning environment.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Holds a degree in any subject (English, Maths, Science, Humanities and Psychology graduates are particularly encouraged to apply).
• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Is passionate about education and supporting young people.
• Is organised, proactive, and eager to learn.
• Has experience tutoring, mentoring, coaching, volunteering, or working with young people (desirable but not essential).
• Is considering teacher training or a long-term career in education.

• Full-time role starting September 2026.
• Competitive daily pay based on experience.
• Long-term opportunities with the potential for permanent employment.
