• Strong knowledge of core subjects, particularly English and Maths, with the ability to teach Science where appropriate to your qualifications and experience.


• Excellent communication, organisation and lesson-planning skills.


• A patient, empathetic and flexible approach, with the ability to build positive relationships with students who may have experienced difficulties with education.


• The ability to work independently and provide engaging, personalised tuition.
