Job description

1:1 Tutor - Northampton

Location: Northampton, Northamptonshire
Start Date: September 2025
Contract: Flexible Part-Time or Full-Time Ongoing
Salary: 25-30 per hour (paid weekly)

Are you an experienced educator who wants to make a difference outside of a traditional classroom setting? If you're passionate about helping young people reach their potential, 1:1 tutoring in Northampton could be the perfect opportunity.

We are currently seeking dedicated, patient, and adaptable tutors to work with pupils across Northampton who are unable to access full-time mainstream education. These students may be awaiting a school placement, struggling in their current environment, or receiving education through the local authority.

This role offers a deeply rewarding way to support learners at their own pace - with the flexibility to fit tutoring around your schedule.

What Does a 1:1 Tutor Role Involve?

• Planning and delivering tailored lessons based on each pupil's level and individual needs
• Building positive, trusting relationships to help students re-engage with education
• Following EHCPs or personalised learning plans
• Completing simple online session reports after each tuition session
• Working flexibly - during the school day or after school, face-to-face or online
• Supporting students in varied settings such as mainstream schools, alternative provisions, or their homes

What We Offer

• A consistent flow of tuition referrals across Northampton and nearby areas
• A dedicated consultant supporting you throughout your tutoring journey
• Opportunities matched to your subjects, age range preferences, and availability
• Weekly pay at competitive hourly rates (25-30 per hour)
• Free access to 2,500+ CPD-accredited courses through The National College

Who We're Looking For

• Experience working with children or young people in education, tutoring, or support roles
• A calm, patient, and encouraging approach
• Confidence delivering learning independently and adapting lessons in the moment
• Strong behaviour management and resilience
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
• Teaching qualifications are beneficial but not essential - your experience is what counts

Whether you're a retired teacher, stepping out of the classroom, or simply looking for a more flexible and meaningful way to support young people, 1:1 tutoring in Northampton offers the chance to change lives while working on your own terms.
