Home Tutor Required (10–15 hours per week) – SEN Experience Essential
We are seeking a calm, patient and experienced home tutor to support a bright and capable Year 10 student with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The role involves delivering a personalised learning programme in a supportive one-to-one environment.
About the Student
The student is an intelligent and creative young person who enjoys practical learning, science, music and being active outdoors. He benefits from positive relationships with adults and responds best to supportive, flexible teaching approaches.
The student has the following needs which impact his learning:
* Dyslexia affecting reading, spelling and extended writing
* ADHD which impacts concentration, attention and impulsivity
* Anxiety and emotional regulation difficulties, particularly in busy or pressured environments
* Social and sensory sensitivities, meaning quieter learning environments and regular breaks are helpful
Despite these challenges, the student is academically able and engages well when learning is practical, structured and broken into manageable steps.
The Role
The tutor will deliver approximately 10–15 hours of home-based tuition per week, providing a highly adapted and supportive learning programme aligned with his EHCP outcomes.
Key elements of the role include:
* Delivering structured, engaging one-to-one teaching across core GCSE subjects where possible
* Breaking learning into short, manageable chunks with visual supports
* Supporting with writing structure, planning and recording ideas
* Using scaffolding strategies such as mind maps, task frames and worked examples
* Incorporating practical, hands-on learning approaches wherever possible
* Supporting confidence, engagement and resilience with learning
* Allowing movement and sensory breaks to support focus
* Building a trusting, trauma-informed relationship using calm and relational approaches
Essential Skills and Experience
Applicants should ideally have:
* Experience working with young people with SEN, particularly ADHD, dyslexia and SEMH needs
* An understanding of trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches
* The ability to adapt teaching to suit individual learning styles
* Patience, flexibility and strong relationship-building skills
* Experience supporting GCSE-level learning (desirable)
Additional Information
* Hours: 10–15 hours per week (flexible scheduling)
* Location: Home-based tuition
* Start: As soon as possible / by agreement
* Enhanced DBS check required
* Pay: £28 per hour
This role would suit a qualified teacher, SEN tutor, or experienced specialist tutor who enjoys working one-to-one and making a meaningful difference to a young person’s confidence and future opportunities.
