We are seeking a passionate, patient, and dedicated In-Person GCSE Tutor to support a Year 11 student with their academic studies across English, Maths, Biology, Geography, and Religious Studies.
The student is looking to re-engage with education after being out of school for almost two years and would like to begin Year 11 in September 2026, with the aim of completing their GCSEs during the academic year.
The successful tutor will provide personalised, one-to-one tuition in the student’s home and help them develop their confidence, motivation, organisation, and academic skills.
Experience working with students with autism, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), EHCPs, or students who have been out of education for extended periods is highly desirable.
The student enjoys English and subjects involving writing but finds Maths particularly challenging and will require additional support in this area. They respond best to tutors who are respectful, encouraging, and who do not treat them in a patronising manner.
