Maths and English Tutor

Inspire learning. Build confidence. Change children’s lives.

For 25 years, Explore Learning has helped children across the UK thrive through expert tuition, innovative learning tools, and the dedication of our incredible people.

Our approach is truly individualised. Our learning platform Compass follows each child’s pace and adapts in real time, allowing tutors to stretch or scaffold to enable meaningful progress. While our award‑winning platform takes us far, it’s our tutors who bring learning to life by building confidence, inspiring curiosity, and delivering the meaningful learning experiences that make a lasting difference.

• Deliver lessons that last: using Compass, facilitate learning through questioning, scaffolding, and stretching.
• Build meaningful relationships: with a 1:6 tutor‑to‑learner ratio, get to know each child and create a safe, inspiring environment where they can take risks and develop a lifelong love of learning.
• Drive academic progress: support members as they work through the national curriculum, entrance exams, and GCSE preparation, celebrating milestones and successes along the way.

• Confident leading sessions with small groups (maximum
  6), inspiring children to engage in their learning, using positive behaviour management strategies, and prioritising safety and wellbeing.
• Comfortable supporting children aged 4–16 across the national curriculum, including 11+ entrance exams and GCSE content.
• Committed to building meaningful, long‑term relationships and providing consistency and stability that helps children thrive.

• Make a real impact:
  Leave every session knowing you’ve helped children grow in confidence, develop key skills and build a love of learning that lasts.
• Focus on what matters:
  With lessons and materials already prepared in Compass, you can focus on tutoring and nurturing your members, rather than planning resources.
• Grow and develop:
  Accelerate your skills through hands‑on tutoring and ongoing development as you build confidence as an educator.
• Work in a supportive team:
  Thrive in a collaborative, close‑knit team where passionate tutors work together to deliver exceptional learning.
