Prospero Teaching is looking for a compassionate, patient, and relationship-focused SEN Tutor to support a Year 9 learner who is currently out of mainstream education. This young person has a history of SEMH needs, with recent EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), and requires a tutor who can help them gently re-engage with education through a mentoring-led approach.
About the Role
This is not a traditional academic tutoring role. Building a trusting, positive relationship with the student is the first and most important priority. Academic learning (initially English and Maths) will be introduced only once rapport, confidence, and emotional safety have been established.
Location: Initial sessions will take place in the student’s home. As confidence grows, sessions may gradually transition into a school or community setting.
Hours: Flexible - we will build a timetable that works for both you and the young person.( 8 Hours a week )
Pay: £25-£30 per hour.
Start: ASAP.
What We’re Looking For
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- At least 6 months of experience in a UK education setting (school, tutoring, or alternative provision)
- Experience teaching KS3 English and Maths
- Experience working with SEN and SEMH learners (desirable )
- A nurturing, calm, and trauma- informed approach
- The ability to build strong, positive relationships with young people who may have had negative educational experiences
- Reliability, empathy, and a genuine passion for helping young people re-engage in learning
If you’re looking for additional hours, we can build your timetable with multiple students to create a fuller, consistent schedule.
