Job Description:

Become a Tutor with TPTUTORS – Inspire, Support, and Transform Lives

TPTUTORS is on the lookout for passionate, skilled tutors to join our expanding team. As student referrals increase, we’re working hand-in-hand with Local Authorities and Schools to deliver personalised, high-quality tutoring across a broad spectrum of subjects and educational needs.

Your Role

We are seeking enthusiastic and experienced tutors to provide part-time support—typically around 10–15 hours per week. However, we offer great flexibility, with some opportunities starting at just 1 hour per week, depending on demand.

We’re especially interested in tutors with a background in Special Educational Needs (SEN), though we also welcome applications from subject specialists in areas such as Business Studies, Languages, and more.

Tuition may be delivered:

• Face-to-face – either at the student’s home or in a local public space such as a library or community centre.
• Online – depending on what works best for the student and their family.

What You’ll Do

• Provide one-on-one tuition tailored to meet each learner’s individual goals and challenges.
• Create and deliver engaging lesson plans that promote academic progress, particularly in core subject areas.
• Submit detailed session feedback via our secure online system after each lesson—this is essential for tracking progress, quality assurance, and payroll.
• Monitor student development and adapt your approach to maximise impact.
• Maintain clear and regular communication with families and TPTUTORS consultants, ensuring effective collaboration and early identification of any issues.

What We’re Looking For

• A degree in Education, SEN, or a relevant field.
• Minimum of 2 years’ experience in teaching or tutoring.
• Familiarity with the UK education system.
• A track record of adapting instruction to support different learning styles and needs.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Working with TPTUTORS

• Flexible, part-time roles – starting at 1 hour per week, with potential for more.
• Positions are temporary but may continue for multiple academic years, often lasting until students secure school placements.
• Schedule is largely self-managed and coordinated with families, though some sessions may require specific time slots.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

• An initial Microsoft Teams meeting to discuss your background and onboarding steps.
• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one – application link provided; cost covered by applicant).
• A 10-year work history.
• References covering the past 5 years.
• Documentation: right to work in the UK, proof of address, any name changes, and a professional photo for your profile.
• Overseas police check if relevant.
• Safeguarding training (provided by us).
