Secondary School Tutor – Quantum Scholars (Somerset)
Location: Somerset – home, community, and/or online tuition opportunities
Age range: Secondary-aged children and young people
Pay: Competitive hourly rate, dependent on experience
About the Role
Quantum Scholars are seeking caring, reliable, and experienced Secondary Tutors to support secondary-aged pupils across Somerset.
We cater to young people who may be educated outside of traditional school settings—for example, those awaiting a suitable placement or requiring personalised additional support. Tuition is typically delivered on a one-to-one basis, either in the student’s home, the community, or online, based on the individual’s needs.
We particularly welcome tutors who can provide a calm, flexible, and young person-centred approach. Successful applicants will need to:
- Build positive relationships with students
- Adapt teaching to meet individual needs
- Deliver engaging, confidence-building sessions that support learning progress and re-engagement with education
Applications are encouraged from tutors with experience in a range of secondary school subjects, especially English, Maths, Science, and Humanities.
