Job overview

Eastbourne College is seeking a suitably experienced peripatetic Chinese / Mandarin Language Tutor to teach pupils to the highest possible standards on a one-to-one basis as requested by parent/guardians.

The successful applicant will be expected to tutor to pupils in Chinese / Mandarin language. Students follow the Edexcel IGCSE and A-level courses. The successful applicant will be expected to share their passion for the language by offering enrichment opportunities to pupils outside of the taught specifications.

The Modern Languages department is one of the largest and liveliest departments in the school, offering French, German and Spanish to A-level and Oxbridge entrance and an accelerated programme for talented linguists. Our academic results are strong at GCSE and A level. The department, comprising 8 teachers and 2 assistants is housed at the heart of the school in the Memorial Block, with a modern digital language laboratory situated in Cloisters. All classrooms have electronic whiteboards / touchscreens and audio and video facilities.

For further information please contact Marian Piper, Recruitment & HR Projects Manager by email on hr@eastbourne-college.co.uk or phone 01323 452239.

Eastbourne College (Incorporated) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The appointment is subject to an enhanced DBS check, pre-employment medical questionnaire and positive references.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Charity is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Eastbourne College (Incorporated) welcomes applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our pupil intake. We consider the most important factor to be the right skills, abilities and attitude for the job which will ultimately improve the well-being and education of the pupils.

There are not many top independent schools in Britain where you can take a six-minute stroll and find yourself on the doorstep of a national park, an international tennis venue, a county cricket ground, two challenging golf courses, award-winning beaches, theatres, an award-winning modern art gallery, a shopping centre (with cinema) and a mainline station to London (85 minutes), London Gatwick Airport (55 minutes) and Ashford International (direct trains to Paris).

Today Eastbourne College reaches out like never before, connecting its boarding and day pupils with the raft of opportunities that abound within a few hundred metres of the school; and beyond. The College's learning environment is second to none thanks to a £33 million redevelopment (completed in 2019), an outstanding, supportive house system, and a timetable which optimises educational contact time, provides optional Saturday morning enrichment sessions, and promotes a busy calendar of competitive sport and socials.

The College has got into a tradition of stimulating academic success while developing people of good character; good people that others want to be with.

In 2021, 82 per cent of the grades awarded at A-level were A*-B. 50 per cent of the School’s top achievers were girls with six going on to study at Oxford or Cambridge university.

Pupils leaving the College achieve A-level grades that enable them to access top courses at the leading universities at home or abroad while also enjoying a diverse and successful wider school life.

Healthy learning for the long term and an extra-mile approach to pastoral care are the guiding principles that underpin an Eastbourne College education, which consistently ranks in the top 4 per cent nationally for academic value added. This means that, on average, pupils achieve one whole grade higher than predicted moving from GCSE to A-level.

The reputation of the College’s pre-medical school (spearheaded by a GP) has gained ground in recent years and all pupils benefit from a dedicated Futures Department which facilitates pathways into higher education in the UK and abroad. The College has an excellent record of entry to Oxbridge, Russell Group, USA university scholarship, and myriad specialist higher education establishments.
