Inspire learning. Build confidence. Change children’s lives.
For 25 years, Explore Learning has helped children across the UK thrive through expert tuition, innovative learning tools, and the dedication of our incredible people.
We offer a truly individualised approach to tuition—our learning platform Compass follows each child’s pace of learning and adapts in real time, meaning our tutors can stretch or scaffold to enable meaningful progress.
While our award-winning platform takes us far, it’s our tutors who truly bring learning to life by building confidence, inspiring curiosity, and delivering the meaningful learning experiences that make a lasting difference.

Key Responsibilities

Delivering Impactful Lessons Using our smart learning tool, Compass, you’ll deliver tailored sessions where you facilitate learning through questioning, scaffolding, and stretching.

Building Meaningful Relationships With a small group of 16 children, you’ll get to know each learner individually, creating a safe, inspiring environment where they can take risks and develop a lifelong love of learning.
-
Supporting Academic Progress Help members progress through the national curriculum, prepare for entrance exams (11+), and prepare for GCSEs, celebrating every milestone and success along the way.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
