What we’re looking for

As a tutor, you’ll work with the same group of young people every week at the same time, over the course of an assignment (normally 15 school weeks). We expect you to show sustained commitment to your tutees by being reliable, punctual, and organised.

Most tutoring takes place during the school day (8am – 4pm) inside the school building, and during school term times. You’ll need to factor in travel times when applying for assignments, but tutoring is normally held in two to three-hour blocks to minimise this. We expect you to commit to a minimum of three hours of tutoring per week, but you can take on as much work as you like. If you’re only available for evening and weekend work, then it is unlikely that any of our work will be suitable for you.

Grades:

• To tutor in Primary Maths and Reading, we ask for at least a Grade B/6 in Maths and English at GCSE level.
• To tutor in Secondary Maths, English, or Science, we ask for at least a Grade A/7 at GCSE level in your chosen subject.

We're open to considering alternative or equivalent qualifications, for example, a relevant A-level (completed) or degree (completed or in progress). If you don't meet these grades but feel you have other relevant experience, please apply but include details of all experiences, including start and end dates.
