Job overview
About the college
Based in the heart of Mayfair, central London, Albemarle is a top performing independent sixth-form college, offering a broad A-level & GCSE curriculum for students from public, state and private school backgrounds. The majority of students who come to Albemarle do so because of our reputation for excellent A-level & GCSE results.

Tuition is very much student-centred, and our teachers are highly qualified specialists in their subject area, many having experience as examiners. They use a mixture of motivation, encouragement and confidence building to get the best out of students. In our recent inspection by ISI (March 2016), the college was judged to exceed expectations, the highest accolade awarded by ISI.

About Albemarle Independent College
Based in the heart of Central London, Albemarle College is an independent college offering broad GCSE and A-level programmes together with revision, retake and refresher courses.
Albemarle has a reputation for excellent A-level results. Every full-time, two year A-level student has achieved a 100% pass rate with grades of A, B or C. Students are taught very much by traditional methods, in small groups, concentrating on the skills needed to pass examinations and to be successful at university.
All tutors at Albemarle are subject specialists and most have experience as examiners. They are particularly successful with young people: able to motivate and communicate with them in ways which they understand.
Barriers are quickly broken down, enhancing the learning process
Class sizes at Albemarle are kept small - the average is four to five students, with a maximum of eight in each class. Tuition is very much centred on the students who are encouraged to participate fully and, most importantly, to think for themselves
Each student has an initial consultation with one of the Principals to establish goals and objectives, plan a strategy for sitting examinations (particularly important for modular courses) and to ensure that the correct subjects are chosen.
