Maths and English Tutor (Hounslow)
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 learning—our platform [Compass] follows each child’s pace and adapts in real time, meaning our tutors can stretch or scaffold to enable meaningful progress.
While our award-winning platform drives us forward, it is our tutors who truly bring learning to life, building confidence, inspiring curiosity, and delivering transformative learning experiences that make a lasting impact.
If you’re looking for the chance to learn quickly through hands-on experience, supported by a team invested in your growth, this is the role for you.
About the Role
Our tutors act as coaches and mentors, not just instructors, supporting every learner’s progress with care and purpose.
As a Maths and English Tutor, you will have a vital role to play in every child’s learning journey:
- Deliver personalised lessons using our smart learning tool, Compass, where you facilitate progression through tailored questioning, scaffolding, and enrichment.
- Build meaningful relationships with children in 1-to-1 sessions (though teaching in small groups of up to 1:16), creating a safe space where they can grow in confidence and take risks.
- Support academic excellence, assisting learners with their national curriculum, 11+ entrance exam prep, and GCSE revision.
Key Responsibilities
The role requires:
✅ The ability to lead engaging 1-to-1 sessions (or small group sessions) using structured questioning, encouragement, and positive reinforcement techniques while prioritising behaviour management and safeguarding.
✅ Familiarity with the national curriculum (ages 4–16) and comfort delivering tailored support in maths (11+ prep and GCSE maths) and English.
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.
✅ A drive to form consistent, long-term relationships with children while ensuring each session delivers clear progress and motivation.
✅ Resilience and engagement—each session must leave a child feeling inspired, able to articulate challenges, and eager to return.
Requirements
Candidates must:
- Be 16+ years of age and possess the right to work in the UK.
- Have achieved at least a Grade 6 (strong pass) in GCSE Maths and GCSE English Language, or provide an identified equivalent (predicted grades accepted if results are pending within the next three months).
- Demonstrate passion for mentoring, confidence in teaching, and enthusiasm for nurturing young learners.
- Commit to safer recruitment checks, including:
- Two enhanced DBS checks.
- Clear disclosure of employment history (open explanation of all gaps, regardless of brief).
- Satisfactory references and direct check from previous employers/educational settings.
_note: We operate under the *Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions apply, including work with children’s safeguarding requirements). Seconded disclosures may be necessary.
