Why Explore Learning?
Maths and English Tutor – Coventry
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.
If you’re looking for the chance to learn quickly through hands-on experience, supported by a team that’s invested in your growth, this is the role for you.
The Role
Our tutors act as coaches and mentors—not just instructors—supporting each learner’s progress with care and purpose.
As a tutor, you’ll play a key role in every child’s learning journey by:
-
Delivering lessons that last 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 1:6 ratio, you’ll get to know each child and create a safe, inspiring environment where they can take risks and develop a lifelong love of learning.
-
Driving academic progress Support members as they work through the national curriculum, entrance exams, and GCSE preparation, celebrating milestones and successes along the way.
Responsibilities
