A Level Chemistry Teacher (part time)

Westminster Tutors is looking for a high quality part time Chemistry teacher to join our teaching staff in January or sooner if available. We currently have availability for 10-12 hours teaching which would need to be delivered on two different days.

The role would suit an experienced teacher/ tutor who is looking for a better work/life balance and who is able to support a range of students, including those with SEND and those applying for competitive degree courses in the scientific field.

What we can offer:

Westminster Tutors is independent sixth form college based in South Kensington. We have a longstanding reputation for academic excellence and our teachers - despite the informal atmosphere in the college - inevitably command the respect of their students. Our students are mature and committed, with exemplary behaviour. Staff morale is very high. 

The college's reputation has always been built upon our teachers and they remain our greatest asset today. Established in 1934, we remain close to our tutorial college origins and teach almost entirely at A level with much of that teaching continuing to be one-to-one or one-to-one combined with very small classes. This means the administrative burden (record keeping, marking, bureaucracy) is much lower, while job satisfaction is very high. 

Our teachers are instrumental in the academic progress their individual students make and have the satisfaction of knowing they really do make a difference. The success of our approach is also born out by our results (A level progress/ results/ university destinations) and we outstrip our competitors by a long measure.

We are able to offer our part-time teachers flexible timetables according to their other commitments. The role requires a minimum of being able to teach on two different days (10-12 hours a week), ideally Thursday and Friday, with scope for additional hours depending on availability.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a Chemistry A level tutor (part-time/ paid hourly) to join our team. 

The successful candidate will ideally be a qualified teacher, although this is not a requirement. We place far greater importance on you having strong academic credentials and require a good degree/ postgraduate degree in Chemistry or a closely related subject, as well as a proven ability to engage and inspire students aged 16+.

Please note that our chosen A level board is OCR but we also teach AQA and Edexcel for A level retake students so this experience is an advantage. 

Our students have a very broad range of ability. The ability to adapt teaching approaches to individual need is a key requirement.
