Quantum Scholars are looking for a patient, supportive and experienced SEND/SEMH Maths Tutor to provide personalised one-to-one tuition to secondary-aged young people in Taunton.

- Teaching Maths across the secondary curriculum, including GCSE where appropriate.
- Identifying gaps in knowledge and providing targeted support.
- Supporting areas such as number, algebra, geometry, statistics, ratio, proportion and problem solving.
- Adapting lessons, resources and teaching methods to suit individual learning needs.
- Breaking down complex mathematical concepts into manageable steps.
- Supporting learners who may lack confidence or have negative experiences of Maths.
- Helping young people develop confidence, resilience and independence.
- Supporting GCSE revision, exam preparation and exam technique where appropriate.
- Creating a calm, structured and positive learning environment.
- Encouraging engagement and helping learners overcome barriers to education.
- Using the learner’s interests and strengths to make lessons engaging and accessible.
- 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 education.
- Maintaining professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Following safeguarding procedures and promoting the welfare of the young person.
