GCSE Tutor; Temporary

Position: GCSE Tutor (Temporary)
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.

Your role will be to:

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

We'd love to hear from you if you:

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

Role Details:

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
