GCSE tutor – Herefordshire/ Worcester

SEND Specialist Tutor Opportunity 1:1, WR6/WR2 Area (Herefordshire/Worcestershire border)

Prospero Teaching is looking for a SEND Specialist Tutor to deliver a bespoke face-to-face tuition package on a 1:1 basis to a highly able Year 9 pupil with ASD and DCD (dyspraxia) who is currently accessing education through an EOTAS package.

The Opportunity
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for a skilled and empathetic tutor who can combine subject knowledge across core GCSE subjects (including English, Maths, Sciences, and Humanities) with a nurturing and personalised approach to learning.

The pupil is intellectually curious, with a particular interest in subjects like quantum mechanics, but he requires structured, foundational teaching to close learning gaps and build GCSE-level competence. Your role will involve delivering engaging, motivating lessons that meet him at his level both academically and emotionally.

You will play a vital part in re-engaging this learner with the curriculum, helping him to build confidence and prepare for qualifications, with support from Prosperos consultant team and regular communication with his wider care team.

• Proven experience with SEND, particularly ASD and/or DCD (Dyspraxia)
• Able to plan and deliver multi-subject, KS3/GCSE content (Maths, English, History, Politics, Science, Computer Science, Geography)
