The Opportunity
We are looking for inspirational tutors around Bexley to support children and young people with SEND. Many children with SEND have been disengaged with their learning. We support pupils who have struggled to stay in the classroom, who feel too anxious to go to school or whose needs aren’t sufficiently supported at school.
As a SEND Specialist Tutor, you must be able to create, plan and deliver 1:1 tailored lessons to bridge gaps in pupils’ education and boost attainment levels. You may be an experienced tutor or teacher or have experience working with children in a therapeutic way. One of your aims will be to support and re-engage a pupil in their learning, offer structure back into their daily routine, continue their educational development, and return to school.
The tuition is replacing school for these young people and is normally part-time, taking place during school hours, five days a week. Prospero will work with you closely to monitor the progression of each pupil by asking you to submit weekly reports.
