You will be confident adapting your teaching style, pace, resources, and explanations to meet individual learning needs, while helping the learner build confidence and make positive academic progress.

- Providing personalised one-to-one Science tuition to a secondary-aged learner.
- Supporting the secondary Science curriculum and GCSE preparation where appropriate.
- Supporting Biology, Chemistry, and Physics depending on the tutor’s subject specialism.
- Identifying gaps in scientific knowledge and providing targeted support.
- Adapting lessons, resources, teaching methods, and pace to meet individual needs.
- Breaking down complex scientific concepts into manageable and accessible steps.
- Supporting practical and theoretical aspects of Science where appropriate.
- Supporting a learner who may experience anxiety, school avoidance, or disengagement.
- Supporting learners who may have barriers to accessing mainstream education.
- Creating a calm, structured, and positive learning environment.
- Using the learner’s interests and strengths to encourage engagement.
- Supporting GCSE revision, exam preparation, and exam technique where appropriate.
- Developing confidence, independence, resilience, and positive attitudes towards Science.
- Supporting learners who may display challenging or unpredictable behavior where appropriate.
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback.
- Building a positive and trusting relationship with the young person.
- Working collaboratively with parents/carers and other professionals involved in the learner’s support.
- Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.
