Job description
GCSE Core Subjects Outreach Tutor (Buckinghamshire)
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Prospero Teaching is seeking a dedicated GCSE Core Subjects Outreach Tutor to work on a 1:1 basis with students across Buckinghamshire who are currently not attending mainstream school.
As an Outreach Tutor, you will plan and deliver tailored GCSE-level lessons (typically English, Maths and/or Science) designed to close learning gaps, build confidence, and improve academic outcomes. This role is ideal for an experienced teacher or tutor who is looking to move away from the classroom and focus on highly personalised, meaningful teaching.
Many of the young people you will support may have been out of education for a significant period and may have low self-esteem or anxiety around learning. You will play a key role in re-engaging pupils, rebuilding their routine, and helping them reconnect with education in a supportive and structured way.
Prospero Teaching will work closely with you to monitor pupil progress, provide ongoing support, and ensure high-quality learning experiences.
