The Role
You’ll support students across Key Stage 3 and 4 in science, maths, and computing – focusing on improving understanding, boosting engagement, and closing learning gaps.

You’re enthusiastic, reliable, and confident explaining complex ideas in a way pupils can understand. If you’ve got tutoring, mentoring, or school experience, even better.
