• Confident working independently and managing a flexible timetable.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport and trust with challenging learners.

Many of the students you'll work with have been out of school for months, even years. Your sessions may be their only consistent educational support. This role isn't just about teaching—it's about showing up, believing in them, and helping them believe in themselves.
