About Us: Every child is different, but one deserves the best start to life. TP Tutors work with local authorities, schools, alternative provisions and multi academy trusts to create bespoke education programmes. We can provide the right educators to span the whole course of a pupil’s learning journey, from tutors to learning support workers, mentors and SEND specialists.
Role Overview: As an Outreach Tutor, you will work closely with students who require a tailored approach due to complex needs or challenging circumstances. You will provide flexible, high-quality, 1:1 or small-group tutoring sessions in community settings, students' homes, or occasionally online. This role is ideal for a compassionate, resilient, and creative educator who thrives on building trusting relationships and adapting teaching methods to meet each student's unique needs.
Key Responsibilities:
* Deliver personalized tutoring sessions aligned with each student’s learning goals, often supporting core subjects like English, math, and science.
* Adapt and differentiate lesson plans to engage students with SEN or emotional/behavioural challenges, including ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, anxiety, and other learning or developmental needs.
* Foster positive relationships that encourage students to engage in learning, manage emotions, and build confidence.
* Use creative and flexible approaches to overcome barriers to learning, drawing on trauma-informed and therapeutic techniques where possible.
* Collaborate with parents, caregivers, school staff, and other professionals to support each student’s progress and create a holistic learning environment.
* Maintain accurate records of each session, tracking attendance, progress, and any behavioural or academic challenges or achievements.
What We're Looking For:
* Experience: Previous experience working with SEN students or those who experience dysregulation. Experience in outreach, one-to-one tutoring, or alternative education settings is highly desirable.
* Qualifications: A teaching qualification or degree in education, psychology, or a related field is preferred. Additional training in SEN, trauma-informed practices, or behavioural management is a strong advantage.
* Skills: Excellent communication, patience, adaptability, and emotional resilience. Must be skilled in building rapport with young people, setting boundaries, and maintaining a calm, supportive environment.
* Commitment: A passion for helping students with complex needs achieve positive outcomes and a willingness to travel within the community to meet students in convenient, comfortable locations.
What We Offer:
* Opportunities for professional development in SEN, trauma-informed education, and therapeutic practices.
* A supportive and collaborative team environment with a focus on making a positive impact.
* Travel allowance and resources for delivering effective tutoring sessions.
