Teacher of Biology

Westminster Tutors is one of the oldest tutorial colleges in the country with a long-standing reputation for superb teaching.  We were awarded Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ in all areas in our 2015 inspection and are very positively reviewed by the Good Schools Guide. We operate in South Kensington as an independent sixth form college teaching mainly at A level, with a small GCSE cohort. The college is a small, very friendly community and teachers find their work with us immensely satisfying.

Due to new enrolments, we would like to appoint one or two teachers of Biology to join our team. These are part time positions and we are able to offer very flexible timetables according to our teachers’ other commitments. Many of our staff are also working on PhDs, or are engaged in other creative or scientific pursuits. Other teachers have had high-powered careers in education or academia and now wish to teach part-time in a rewarding and stimulating environment. The diversity and range of accomplishments amongst our teachers all contribute to the unique atmosphere at the college, which is enjoyed by staff and students alike.

The successful candidate will ideally be a qualified teacher, although we place greater importance on a good degree (2:1 or above)/ postgraduate degree in Biology or a closely connected subject, and a proven ability to engage and inspire students aged 15-19. Applicants should have experience of teaching Biology at A level and ideally of delivering practicals.  Solid experience teaching in an additional subject at either A level or GCSE would be an advantage.

Our students have a very broad range of ability and we therefore aim to recruit inspired and inspiring teachers who are perceptive and flexible in their approaches to teaching.  In turn, much of the satisfaction of working with us is derived from the fact that you really will make a difference to your students' learning and development.
