An exceptional sixth form setting in Newham is looking to appoint a Maths Academic Mentor for the new academic year. This opportunity is particularly suited to individuals graduating this year who are keen to gain high-level academic mentoring experience before progressing into teaching or further study.
Students at the school consistently achieve some of the strongest A-Level outcomes in the country, with large numbers progressing annually to Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE and other Russell Group universities.

Monitoring academic progress alongside experienced teaching staff
Encouraging strong study habits and independent learning skills
What the school can offer:
Exposure to an exceptionally high-performing academic environment
Opportunities to work alongside experienced Maths specialists and sixth form leaders
Regular CPD focused on mentoring, pedagogy and academic intervention
Experience supporting students applying to Oxbridge and competitive university courses
Strong pathways into teacher training and long-term education careers
