About Quantum Scholars
Quantum Scholars is looking for supportive, patient and experienced SEND/SEMH Tutors to work with children and young people across Somerset. These are in-person tutoring roles and are not online work.
The roles will involve providing personalised educational support to students who may have SEND and/or SEMH needs and would benefit from a flexible, individualised approach to learning. Tutors will be expected to build positive and trusting relationships with students, adapt their teaching and support to meet individual needs, and help young people develop their confidence, engagement and progress.
We are looking for tutors who are passionate about supporting young people who may have struggled within a traditional school environment and who can provide a calm, consistent and encouraging approach to education.
The Role May Involve
- Delivering one-to-one or small-group tuition to primary and/or secondary-aged students
- Supporting students across a range of subjects, depending on experience
- Supporting students with SEND and/or SEMH needs
- Planning engaging, accessible and personalised learning activities
- Adapting teaching approaches to suit different abilities, learning needs and levels of engagement
- Building positive, consistent and trusting relationships with students
- Helping students develop confidence, resilience, independence and positive attitudes towards learning
- Supporting students who may have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream education
- Helping students re-engage with education in a positive and meaningful way
- Supporting students with their academic, social and emotional development where appropriate
- Monitoring progress and providing appropriate feedback
- Working collaboratively with parents, carers and relevant professionals where required
- Maintaining clear and professional communication
- Following safeguarding procedures at all times
