Many teachers feel restricted by rigid lesson plans that don’t reflect their teaching style or their students’ needs. They’re also expected to meet targets they had no say in setting.

If you’re looking for a role where your professional judgement is trusted and you have greater flexibility in lessons, we’d love to hear from you.

Our mission is “to change the trajectory of students' lives”; Tutor Doctor Peterborough Huntingdon Stamford is a multi-award winning, family-run branch of an international organisation.  As such we benefit from being part of a global, collaborative network while maintaining a constant, local presence and a personal and direct relationship with our tutors, students and clients. Through our numerous accreditations we have worked with over 50 schools and 5 local authorities.

Overview

Tutors will provide daytime in-school or out-of-school education for Children and Young Persons (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), anxiety (including Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. These students are referred by local authorities and schools, often with Education Health Care Plans (EHCP) with learning or behavioural difficulties, at both primary and secondary level (KS1 to KS5). This is typically for Maths, English and Science, but other subjects are often requested.

• Assessing and reporting on students' progress on a regular basis

• Working to achieve an educational outcome as agreed with the referrer or school

• Adhering strictly to safeguarding policies and procedures

Importantly, we are looking for individuals who have the passion and capability to help others learn, fulfil or discover their potential, or reengage with education. A working knowledge, and experience to ensure the safeguarding of our CYPs is essential.
