Location: Wokingham, Berkshire

Subject: Maths

Phase: Secondary / SEND / SEMH

Working Arrangement: In-person

Quantum Scholars are looking for experienced and confident Maths Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one support to young people with SEND/SEMH needs.

A key requirement for this role is experience supporting young people who can display challenging behaviour and may struggle with emotional regulation, engagement or traditional learning environments. We are looking for tutors who are confident managing challenging situations, establishing clear boundaries and using positive behaviour strategies while continuing to provide high-quality Maths tuition.

The successful tutor will understand that building a positive relationship and creating the right environment for learning is just as important as the academic support itself. You will need to be calm, patient, consistent and resilient, with the ability to adapt your approach depending on the young person’s individual needs and behaviour.

This role would suit a qualified Maths teacher, experienced Maths tutor, teaching assistant, behaviour mentor or education professional who has strong Maths knowledge alongside genuine experience working with young people with SEND/SEMH and challenging behaviour.

The Role May Involve

• Delivering one-to-one Maths tuition to secondary-aged young people.
• Supporting learners with SEND/SEMH needs who may display challenging behaviour.
• Building positive and trusting relationships with young people who may have significant barriers to learning.
• Establishing clear boundaries, routines and expectations.
• Using positive behaviour strategies to encourage engagement and participation.
• Remaining calm and consistent when faced with challenging or unpredictable behaviour.
• Recognising potential triggers and adapting sessions accordingly.
• Using appropriate de-escalation approaches when required.
• Planning engaging and accessible Maths sessions tailored to individual needs.
• Adapting teaching methods, resources and pace according to the learner.
• Identifying gaps in mathematical knowledge and providing targeted support.
• Breaking down mathematical concepts into manageable steps.
• Supporting areas such as number, algebra, geometry, statistics, reasoning and problem-solving.
• Helping learners re-engage with education following periods of disengagement or difficult behaviour.
• Supporting emotional regulation and developing positive approaches to learning.
• Encouraging confidence, resilience and independence.
• Supporting revision, assessments and GCSE preparation where appropriate.
• Monitoring progress and providing feedback to parents/carers and relevant professionals.
• Working collaboratively with families, schools and other members of the support team.
• Maintaining professional boundaries and following safeguarding procedures.
