KS3 Tutor in Bridport, Dorset

We are currently looking for a compassionate and experienced tutor to support a Year 8 student in DT6 for 3 hours per week.

E is a bright young person who would benefit from a patient, nurturing tutor who can help rebuild her confidence and engagement with learning. She presents with significant Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, including high levels of anxiety, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, and Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA).

E finds social situations challenging and can struggle to interpret facial expressions, social cues, and the intentions of others, which can increase her anxiety and impact her ability to engage with education. She also experiences sensory processing differences that affect her tolerance of noise, clothing, and aspects of daily routines.

Academically, E requires support with literacy, numeracy, and information processing. Due to her anxiety and disrupted education, she will benefit from a tutor who can deliver learning at an appropriate pace whilst creating a safe, predictable, and supportive environment.

The ideal tutor will:

• Be confident supporting students with SEMH needs and anxiety.
• Take a calm, flexible, and relationship-based approach.
• Be able to build trust and rapport gradually.
• Support both academic progress and emotional wellbeing.
• Create engaging lessons tailored to the student's individual needs and interests.

Location: DT6
Student: Year 8
Hours: 3 hours per week
Focus: English, Maths, confidence building, emotional wellbeing, and re-engagement with learning.
