ESOL Tutor

Kidderminster, Worcestershire
Flexible Part-Time Hours | Small Group Teaching | Competitive Hourly Rate

Are you a patient, empathetic educator who believes that building confidence is just as important as teaching language skills?

Monarch Education is working with a local authority-led community education programme in Kidderminster to recruit a Community ESOL Tutor for a pilot project supporting adult learners who are new to the UK.

This is a unique opportunity to support asylum seekers, refugees, and other adult learners with very limited English language skills through informal, welcoming ESOL sessions designed to build confidence, encourage community integration, and help learners navigate everyday life in the UK.

Rather than delivering a rigid curriculum, we're looking for someone who can create a supportive environment where learners feel comfortable practising English, asking questions, building social connections, and developing the confidence to engage with their local community.

Why Apply?

Flexible, community-based teaching
Small group sizes (typically fewer than 12 learners)
Opportunity to make a genuine impact on people's lives and integration into the local community
Minimal administration and paperwork
Support from an experienced local authority representative who will be present during sessions
Informal and engaging teaching environment
Opportunity to contribute to the development of a growing community programme

About the Programme

This pilot project has been designed to support adult learners aged 18 to 65, with the majority expected to be in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s.

Many learners will be new arrivals to the area, including asylum seekers and refugees who have very limited English and may be accessing structured language learning for the first time.

Sessions will be delivered in community venues across Worcestershire, with the pilot phase initially taking place in Kidderminster. Future delivery may expand into surrounding locations including Bewdley and Stourport.
