Economics A Level Tutor (part time/ flexible)

Apply now for a truly enjoyable opportunity to teach Economics A level at our small, friendly and unique sixth form college.  If you are looking for a better work-life balance and the opportunity to work the hours that suit you in central London, put in an application today.

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, and staff morale is 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.  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 tutors very flexible timetables according to their other commitments.  A minimum commitment would be 6 hours a week, spread over two days, with the majority of tutors working 12-24 hours a week (i.e. 2-4 days a week).

The diversity and range of accomplishments amongst our teachers all contribute to the unique atmosphere at Westminster Tutors and provide a source of inspiration for our students.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for an Economics tutor (part-time/ paid hourly) to join our team, starting in September.  

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 Economics or a closely related subject, as well as a proven ability to engage and inspire students aged 16+.

Our students have a very broad range of ability.  Additional experience preparing students for PPE, TSA and highly competitive UCAS applications would be an advantage. Additionally, experience teaching A level students with SEND would be a distinct advantage, as would experience teaching related subjects such as Business A Level.
