We’re looking for a patient, adaptable, and supportive GCSE tutor to work 1:1 with a learner who has SEN needs and requires a flexible, confidence-building approach. The student is capable but currently struggles with focus, motivation, and managing the demands of GCSE-level work without the right support.
This role combines mentoring with academic guidance. Building trust, emotional safety, and a calm learning environment will be key. Academic content will be introduced gradually, at the student’s pace, with the aim of reducing pressure and helping them reconnect with learning in a way that feels achievable.
Your role will be to: *Deliver supportive, student-led mentoring sessions alongside targeted GCSE tuition
*Build confidence before increasing academic demands
*Break down GCSE content into manageable, accessible steps
*Adapt lessons to suit SEN needs, learning styles, and emotional readiness
*Encourage motivation, resilience, and preparation for exams
*Celebrate small wins to keep the student engaged and positive
We’d love to hear from you if you: *Have experience working with SEN students (e.g., ADHD, ASD, anxiety, processing needs)
*Can combine mentoring with learning support
*Know how to make GCSE material engaging and less overwhelming
*Are patient, encouraging, and flexible with your teaching approach
*Understand that emotional readiness is as important as academic progress
Role Details: *Subjects: GCSE English and/or Maths (flexible based on your expertise)
*Approach: Mentoring-led, gradual introduction of academics
*Hours: Flexible weekly sessions - 8 HOURS A WEEK
*Pay: £25-£30 per hour (depending on experience)
*Location: DT4
If you’re passionate about empowering young people with SEN and helping them succeed at their own pace, we’d love to hear from you!
