About the Opportunity

We are looking for experienced and compassionate SEN Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one tuition to secondary-aged learners in and around the Bromley area, supporting students from Year 7 through to GCSE.

The learners may have additional needs or circumstances that make attending mainstream school difficult. This could include SEND, anxiety, gaps in education, behavioural or emotional needs, or prolonged absence from school.

As an outreach tutor, you will provide structured and engaging lessons tailored to the individual learner. The aim is not only to improve academic attainment, but also to help students rebuild confidence, develop positive attitudes towards learning and gradually re-engage with education.

Strong secondary-level Maths and English teaching experience is essential. Tutors who can also confidently deliver Science, particularly GCSE Science, will be especially welcomed.

Most assignments provide around 10-15 hours of tuition per learner each week, usually during school hours. Sessions may be delivered in the learner's home, a community setting or another appropriate location.

Learner Profiles

Students may present with a variety of additional needs and barriers to education, including:

Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC/ASD)
ADHD
Dyslexia and dyscalculia
Speech and language difficulties
SEMH needs
School-related anxiety
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
Extended periods away from mainstream education
Gaps in learning and curriculum access difficultiesTutors should be confident adapting their teaching style and creating a calm, consistent and encouraging environment for learners who may have found traditional education challenging.

Key Duties

Teach Maths and English across the secondary curriculum.
Identify learning gaps and respond to individual educational needs.
Prepare personalised lesson plans and suitable learning resources.
Adapt teaching approaches according to each learner's SEND profile.
Support academic development alongside confidence, engagement and independence.

Provide GCSE preparation where appropriate.
Develop positive and trusting relationships with learners.
Monitor progress, engagement and achievement throughout the placement.
Maintain clear records and provide feedback when required.
Communicate appropriately with parents, carers, schools and other professionals.

Successful applicants will ideally have:

Strong secondary Maths and English teaching experience.
Experience teaching students between Year 7 and GCSE.
At least two years' experience working with children or young people with SEN/SEND is preferred.
Knowledge of effective strategies for supporting different SEND needs.
The ability to engage learners who may be anxious, reluctant or disengaged.

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
