About us

TalentEd is a charity that specialises in delivering high quality tuition to disadvantaged young people. We run an advanced maths programme that aims to increase the diversity and number of excellent mathematicians in the UK. The programme is aimed at young pupils at state schools who have a real aptitude for maths, and want to challenge themselves to become great. At least half of the students on the programme will be from less affluent backgrounds.

The role

We are looking for passionate and qualified maths teachers and tutors, with a love for maths, who can stretch and challenge our pupils to become even better mathematicians. We deliver a structured programme of weekly tuition to small groups (5-6 pupils) throughout each term (10 weeks per term).

We provide you with the resources, which are developed by the expert team at MESME, an Ark Venture. While you do not need to develop any resources, we do expect you to familiarise yourself with them thoroughly before tutoring.

Our online sessions are delivered via Zoom, and tutors will also be able to use our secure virtual learning environment to share resources and message students.

What we look for in a tutor: 

• Passion for helping disadvantaged young mathematicians become excellent

• Inspirational and engaging teaching style

• Qualified teacher, or extensive tutoring experience

• Experience teaching or tutoring maths up to at least GCSE

• Maths or STEM-based degree

• Ability to commit to at least 3 hour-long after school sessions at the same time each week for the term (10 weeks)

As a tutor, we expect you to: 

• Stimulate, inspire and challenge your group of pupils every session 

• Deliver weekly hour-long sessions via Zoom

• Provide feedback on the progress of students

• Complete our onboarding process, and take part in observations and peer feedback

• Adhere to TalentEd’s Safeguarding and other policies
