Tutors will be expected to build positive and trusting relationships with learners, provide a consistent approach to learning, and adapt their teaching to meet individual needs.

- Delivering one-to-one or small-group Philosophy tuition
- Supporting learners with key areas of Philosophy and philosophical thought
- Developing learners’ ability to analyse, evaluate, and construct well-reasoned arguments
- Encouraging discussion, debate, and independent thinking
- Supporting students with SEND and/or SEMH needs
- Planning engaging, accessible, and personalized lessons and activities
- Adapting teaching approaches to suit individual abilities, learning needs, and levels of engagement
- Breaking down complex philosophical ideas and concepts into accessible and engaging learning
- Building positive, consistent, and trusting relationships with learners
- Helping students develop confidence, resilience, independence, and positive attitudes towards learning
- Supporting learners who may have struggled within a traditional school environment
- Encouraging students to re-engage with education and develop their learning skills
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback
- Working collaboratively with parents, carers, and relevant professionals where required
- Maintaining clear and professional communication
- Following safeguarding procedures at all times
