Teacher of Mathematics, South Kensington

Westminster Tutors is one of the oldest tutorial colleges in the country with a long-standing reputation for superb teaching, and we were awarded Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ in all areas in our 2015 inspection. We operate in South Kensington as an independent sixth form college teaching mainly at A level, and we also have a small GCSE cohort. The college is a small, very friendly community and teachers find their work with us immensely satisfying.

Due to demand and new enrolments, we would like to appoint either one or two teachers of Mathematics to join our team. These are part time positions and we are able to offer very flexible timetables according to our teachers’ other commitments. Many of our staff are also working on PhDs, or are musicians, artists and writers. Other teachers have had high-powered careers in education or academia and now wish to teach part-time in a rewarding and stimulating environment. The diversity and range of accomplishments amongst our teachers all contribute to the unique atmosphere at the college, which is enjoyed by staff and students alike.

The successful candidate will ideally be a qualified teacher, although we place greater importance on a good degree/ postgraduate degree in Mathematics or a highly relevant subject such as Physics, and a proven ability to engage and inspire students aged 15-19. Applicants should have experience of teaching Mathematics at both A level and GCSE.

Our students have a very broad range of ability. Additional experience teaching MEI Mathematics, Further Mathematics and STEP would be a definite advantage. Alternatively, experience teaching students with SEN such as dyspraxia and Asperger’s or remedial Maths for candidates who are struggling to obtain a C at GCSE would also be an advantage.
