Home Tutor Required – KS4 – Gosport
Prospero Teaching is seeking a compassionate, patient, and adaptable Tutor to provide 1:1 home tuition for a Key Stage 4 student in the Gosport area. This is a highly rewarding opportunity to support a young person who is currently disengaged from mainstream education and requires a bespoke, nurturing approach to learning.
Student Profile:
The student is of secondary age and currently working below expected levels due to a range of social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.

5. Support the development of self-esteem, resilience, and independent learning skills
6. Track progress and adapt your approach in response to the student’s evolving needs
