- Planning engaging, accessible, and appropriately challenging English lessons.
- Adapting teaching methods, resources, and lesson pace to suit individual needs.
- Supporting a learner who may have experienced barriers to mainstream education.
- Helping to rebuild confidence, motivation, and engagement with English.
- Supporting GCSE preparation, revision, and exam technique where appropriate.
- Creating a calm, structured, and positive learning environment.
- Using the learner’s interests to encourage engagement and participation.
- Supporting the development of communication, literacy, and independent learning skills.
- Encouraging confidence, resilience, and positive attitudes towards education.
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback.
- Building a positive and trusting relationship with the young person.
- Working collaboratively with parents/carers and other professionals involved in the learner’s education.
- Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.
