Are you a compassionate and patient tutor passionate about helping students who have stepped away from mainstream education?

Prospero Teaching is looking for committed Maths and English Tutors to support students in the Seaham area who have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools or are otherwise unable to access full-time education. These young people face unique challenges and may have become disengaged from learning due to SEND, SEMH, emotional barriers or difficulties within mainstream education.

The Opportunity

We need tutors who are patient, adaptable and passionate about helping disengaged students overcome obstacles, develop positive relationships with education and build confidence in their Maths and English skills.

Sessions will take place face-to-face, either in a community setting or at the young person's home.

Your role with us:

• Deliver one-to-one or small-group tuition in Maths and English.
• Develop and implement personalised lesson plans that address individual learning gaps.
• Monitor student progress and identify areas for development.
• Create a supportive and motivating learning environment to help students rebuild their confidence in learning.
• Support students who have become disengaged from education, including those who have experienced permanent exclusion.
• Complete daily attendance and weekly reports.

Role details:

• Start date: November 2026.
• Location: Seaham.
• Duration: Ongoing.

• Access to CPD-accredited courses and training.

To be eligible for the Maths and English Tutor role, you need:

• Previous experience working with young people with SEND, such as young people with ADHD, SEMH and students who have been permanently excluded. This role is particularly suited to those with previous experience within a PRU, alternative provision or specialist education setting.
• Experience supporting disengaged learners and young people who may be reluctant to engage with education.
• A patient, flexible and nurturing approach, with the ability to build positive relationships with students.
