GCSE Tutor

Overview

We're looking for a patient, adaptable, and supportive GCSE tutor to work 1:1 with a learner who has SEN needs and requires a flexible, confidence-building approach. The student is capable but currently struggles with focus, motivation, and managing the demands of GCSE-level work without the right support. This role combines mentoring with academic guidance. Building trust, emotional safety, and a calm learning environment will be key.

Academic content will be introduced gradually, at the student's pace, with the aim of reducing pressure and helping them reconnect with learning in a way that feels achievable.

• Deliver supportive, student-led mentoring sessions alongside targeted GCSE tuition
• Build confidence before increasing academic demands
• Break down GCSE content into manageable, accessible steps
• Adapt lessons to suit SEN needs, learning styles, and emotional readiness
• Encourage motivation, resilience, and preparation for exams
• Celebrate small wins to keep the student engaged and positive

• Have experience working with SEN students (e.g., ADHD, ASD, anxiety, processing needs)
• Can combine mentoring with learning support
• Know how to make GCSE material engaging and less overwhelming
• Are patient, encouraging, and flexible with your teaching approach
• Understand that emotional readiness is as important as academic progress

• Subjects: GCSE English and/or Maths (flexible based on your expertise)
• Approach: Mentoring-led, gradual introduction of academics
• Hours: Flexible weekly sessions - 8 HOURS A WEEK
• Pay: £25-£30 per hour (depending on experience)
• Location: DT4

If you're passionate about empowering young people with SEN and helping them succeed at their own pace, we'd love to hear from you!
