SEN GCSE Outreach Tutor

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Prospero Teaching is seeking a dedicated and qualified SEN GCSE Outreach Tutor to deliver tailored 1:1 education packages to students who are not currently attending mainstream school. The ideal candidate will have experience working with Special Educational Needs (SEN) students and be passionate about offering engaging lessons that bridge gaps in educational attainment.
