Job description

Home Tutor Required - KS4 - Gosport

Prospero Teaching is seeking a compassionate, patient, and adaptable Tutor to provide 1:1 home tuition for a Key Stage 4 student in the Gosport area. This is a highly rewarding opportunity to support a young person who is currently disengaged from mainstream education and requires a bespoke, nurturing approach to learning.

Student Profile:

The student is of secondary age and currently working below expected levels due to a range of social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. They find the traditional classroom environment overwhelming and benefit from a calm, consistent, and supportive setting. The ideal tutor will help the student re‑engage with learning, build confidence, and make steady academic progress—particularly in core subjects such as English and Maths.

Responsibilities

• Deliver structured, 1:1 tuition in a quiet and emotionally safe environment (typically the student's home)
• Build a positive, trusting relationship to foster engagement and motivation
• Tailor sessions to the student's current working level and learning style
• Use creative, flexible strategies to overcome barriers to learning
• Support the development of self‑esteem, resilience, and independent learning skills
• Track progress and adapt your approach in response to the student's evolving needs

About You

• Experience working with KS3/KS4 learners, ideally in alternative or SEN settings
• Confident supporting students with SEMH needs or those who are school‑refusing
• Calm, empathetic, and consistent in your approach
• Able to plan and deliver engaging, personalised lessons across multiple subjects
• Strong communication and mentoring skills
• Available to deliver sessions on Monday’s and Fridays (afternoons ideally)
