Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils. Creating a calm, supportive and inclusive learning environment. Monitoring pupil progress and maintaining accurate records of sessions. Liaising with parents, carers, schools, local authority professionals and other relevant agencies where required. Supporting pupils who may have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream education.

We are looking for tutors who have:

Experience working with children or young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs. Previous experience delivering 1:1 tuition, teaching or educational support. The ability to plan and deliver engaging, personalised learning. A patient, adaptable and nurturing approach. Confidence working independently with pupils in their homes or community settings. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to education. QTS is desirable but not essential. A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one. Satisfactory professional references.

Why Join Quantum Scholars?

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced tutor or education professional who wants to make a genuine difference through personalised, 1:1 support.

You will have the opportunity to work with pupils who require an alternative approach to education, helping them rebuild their confidence, develop their skills and work towards positive educational outcomes.
