Tutor of German (Part-time)

St George’s, Ascot (SGA) is a thriving independent boarding and day school of  270 girls  aged 11-18, around 45% of whom are boarders (full, weekly and flexi) and with a Sixth Form of approximately 80 pupils. St George’s offers an ambitious, connected and future-facing education tailored for pupils to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.

Awarded ‘excellent’ in its November 2022 ISI inspection, the school is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally, a place where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt and challenges are welcomed.

We are a welcoming school with a warm sense of community. Visitors are impressed by our facilities within a beautiful setting and the ambition of our educational provision.

Our unique extended day allows all girls the time and space to foster confidence, independence and academic curiosity providing a future-facing education exclusively for girls in a world not yet designed for girls and introduces them to contemporary subjects and topics through speakers, workshops, classes and visits.

We are looking to recruit a Part-time Tutor of German to provide one-to-one lessons for pupils who wish to study German, guiding them in their preparation for GCSE and A Level. The successful candidate should be a fluent speaker of German with excellent subject knowledge.

Sessions are normally 30 - 60 minutes long and the number of hours per week will vary on a term by term basis, depending on the number of pupils requiring language tuition. Notification will be given in advance, on a term by term basis, of the number of hours required to work. The successful candidate will be expected to start in September 2024.

This is a self-employed position and the successful candidate will be responsible for obtaining the details of parents and invoicing them directly.

Additional Staff benefits include: 

• Use of state-of-the-art gym with Technogym equipment at allocated times;
