Job description

Are you a passionate, experienced educator who believes every child deserves the chance to succeed — no matter their background or barriers to learning?

We are currently recruiting highly skilled Maths and English tutors to support pupils across the Slough area. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people who require tailored, consistent and compassionate educational support.

Many of the pupils we work with have experienced:

• Significant gaps in learning
• Disrupted or inconsistent education
• Low confidence and engagement
• Additional needs including SEMH, SEND or anxiety-related barriers
• Difficulty accessing mainstream education full-time

Because of this, we are looking for tutors who are not only academically strong, but also patient, adaptable, resilient and nurturing in their approach.

Subjects Required

• Mathematics
• English

Support may be required at both Primary and Secondary level.

The Role

Tutoring sessions will usually take place:

• In the pupil’s home
• Within schools
• In public settings such as libraries
• Online

Tutors should be confident adapting lessons and teaching strategies to meet each pupil’s individual needs, ability levels and learning styles.

This is not a “one size fits all” tutoring role we are looking for professionals who can build trust, re‑engage learners and create meaningful progress, both academically and emotionally.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from:

• Qualified Teachers (QTS/QTLS preferred)
• Experienced Tutors
• SEN Specialists
• Intervention Teachers
• Educators with experience supporting vulnerable or disengaged learners

Ideal candidates will have:

• Strong subject knowledge in Maths or English
• Experience working with Primary and/or Secondary pupils
• The ability to differentiate and personalise learning effectively
• A calm, empathetic and professional manner
• Excellent communication and behaviour management skills
• A commitment to safeguarding and pupil wellbeing

Reporting & Communication Expectations

A key part of this role is maintaining clear and professional communication regarding pupil progress.

Tutors will be expected to:

• Complete accurate attendance logs
• Provide detailed session reports
• Track academic progress and engagement
• Communicate concerns, achievements and next steps effectively
• Deliver high-quality updates for schools, parents and commissioning teams

Strong written communication and attention to detail are essential.

Hours Available

We are looking for tutors seeking a minimum commitment of 10–15 hours per week, with opportunities for additional tuition available.

Flexible scheduling available depending on your availability and travel preferences.

Why Join Us?

• Meaningful and rewarding work
• Flexible hours
• Ongoing referrals available
• Opportunity to positively impact vulnerable learners
• Supportive and professional working environment
• Variety of settings and learner needs

If you are an engaging, committed educator who can inspire confidence, rebuild learning and adapt teaching to truly meet pupils where they are we would love to hear from you.

All pay rates quoted are inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay.
