GCSE English Tutor
Hours: 18.75 hours per week
Salary Scale: £29,000 - £35,000 full time equivalent
About the Role
You will make English relevant to our young people, through your inclusive lesson planning and delivery. You will mark and assess learner work, setting high expectations and motivating them to be the best that they can be. You will have an understanding of methods and good practice in reviewing and evaluating teaching & learning and behaviour management strategies.
Be prepared to make English exciting and relevant through your inclusive lesson plans, setting high expectations, and motivating our learners to be the best they can be.
About you
You will be a role model, providing learners with an exceptional educational experience that will enable them to maximise their potential. You will have up-to-date knowledge and an understanding of the GCSE English curriculum and experience with exam board requirements. You will hold GCSE English and English GCSEs at Grade 5 (or equivalent) or above and you will have a degree in a related subject.
A teaching qualification is desirable but if you don’t have one, Access Sport will fund and support you to get one. A successful track record of delivering GCSE English would be the icing on the cake, however, this could be an ideal development opportunity for a newly qualified teacher or English graduate looking to get into teaching.
You will work with experienced, passionate tutors as well as within a support service provided by our Central Team. Working at Access Sport means working with learners who are engaged and enthusiastic about the education they are gaining.
No candidate will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we've identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
