QTS Tutor

In-Person Secondary Tutor (QTS Required) Flexible hours | Highly rewarding | Term-time only | SEN, SEMH & Mental Health Support

Are you a qualified secondary teacher who wants to make a genuine difference beyond the classroom?

We are seeking QTS-qualified, secondary-experienced tutors to work 1:1 with young people who are unable to attend mainstream school due to SEN, SEMH, behavioural challenges, or mental health needs. Many of these students are school-refusing or medically unable to attend, and need a calm, consistent educator to help them re-engage with learning. This is a deeply rewarding role focused on connection first, progress second.

The Role

You will deliver 1:1, in-person tuition to secondary-aged students (KS3-KS4), typically in the student's home or a local community setting.

Sessions focus on:

• Core secondary subjects (English, Maths, Science), aligned to age-appropriate expectations
• Adapting learning for students working below or outside their chronological age
• Building trust, confidence, and routine alongside academic support
• Supporting reintegration into education where appropriate

You will also:

• Work closely with schools, parents/carers, and external professionals
• Provide clear session feedback and outcome notes
• Tailor your approach to each learner's emotional and educational needs

Hours & Flexibility

Tuition usually takes place during school hours (9:00-15:00, Monday-Friday)

Most students receive 6-15 hours per week

Part-time and term-time only

Opportunity to take on additional students if desired

Who We're Looking For

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - essential

Proven secondary teaching or tutoring experience

Experience supporting students with SEN, SEMH, anxiety, trauma, or behavioural needs

Confident working 1:1 and independently, outside of a classroom environment

Calm, resilient, and adaptable approach

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service or willingness to apply)

Full UK driving licence and access to transport is often required

Why This Role Matters

Many of the students you'll support have been out of education for extended periods. For some, you may be the only consistent teacher they see. Your presence can be the difference between long-term disengagement and a path back into learning. This role is about impact, patience, and believing - not just curriculum delivery.

If you're a secondary teacher with QTS looking for flexible, meaningful work where your skills truly matter, we'd like to hear from you.
