As an Academic Mentor for Science or Maths, you will be employed on a fixed term contract by a school to deliver a tailored programme of support, unique for each school.

• More chance to see what’s out there - We create opportunities for teachers to visit other AET academies and learn from outside experience.                
• More like minded colleagues, so you can benefit from others’ experience - You’re connected to our network of 58 academies and thousands of education professionals.
