ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Prospero Teaching is seeking a committed and qualified Outreach Tutor to deliver bespoke 1:1 tuition in English and Maths at Key Stage 3 and GCSE level. This support will be provided to pupils across Buckinghamshire who are currently not attending mainstream education.

As an Outreach Tutor, you will plan and deliver engaging and personalised lessons that address gaps in knowledge and help improve academic performance, confidence, and motivation. Many of these learners will have been out of formal education for some time, and your role will be key in supporting their reintegration into structured learning.
Prospero Teaching will provide ongoing support, regular check-ins, and progress monitoring to ensure effective delivery and student success.
