Academic Mentor - Oxbridge Mentoring
Are you a top university graduate looking to support students in a forward-thinking Secondary School?
Are you passionate about raising attainment, supporting young people academically and inspiring students to aim for top universities in the future?
If so, a fantastic Secondary School based in Newham, East London are looking for Academic Mentors to join them from September 2026.
The school are looking for academically gifted graduates who can support students across KS3 & KS4, helping to raise attainment, build confidence and inspire pupils to aim high academically.
Your Role as an Academic Mentor
Your role as an Academic Mentor will involve supporting students within your subject specialism, delivering targeted intervention and working with pupils in class, in small groups and on a 1:1 basis. You will primarily support within your subject area but may also support across other core subjects where needed.
Additionally, you will act as a positive academic role model, supporting students with study skills, revision strategies, confidence, motivation and future aspirations. This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate who understands top universities, including Russell Group and Oxbridge pathways, and wants to help students develop the ambition and academic habits needed to progress successfully.
