• Work with students out of school, often in their homes or community settings.
• Support learners across key subjects (e.g., English, Maths, Science), using personalised and creative teaching methods.

• Confidence working independently and managing a flexible timetable.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build trust and rapport with challenging learners.
