SEND Tutor – Somerset
Location: Somerset
Phase: Secondary / SEND / SEMH
Working Arrangement: In-person
Quantum Scholars is looking for a supportive, patient and experienced SEND Tutor to work with children and young people across Somerset. This is an in-person tutoring opportunity and is not an online role.
The role involves providing personalised educational support to learners who may have additional needs and benefit from a flexible, individualised approach to education. You will build positive and trusting relationships with learners, adapt your teaching to meet their individual needs and help them develop their confidence, engagement and independence.
The successful tutor will be able to create engaging and accessible learning experiences while remaining flexible to each learner’s pace, interests, abilities and needs. Experience supporting young people with SEND, SEMH needs, or those who have found mainstream education challenging would be particularly beneficial.
The Role May Involve
- Delivering personalised one-to-one or small-group tuition
- Supporting learners across relevant curriculum subjects, depending on experience
- Planning engaging, accessible and appropriately challenging learning activities
- Adapting teaching approaches to suit individual abilities, learning needs and levels of engagement
- Creating a calm, positive and supportive learning environment
- Helping learners develop confidence, resilience and a positive attitude towards education
- Supporting the development of independent learning and study skills
- Helping learners overcome barriers to education and re-engage with learning
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback
- Building positive, consistent and trusting relationships with learners
- Working collaboratively with parents, carers and relevant professionals where required
- Maintaining clear and professional communication
- Following safeguarding procedures at all times
