Prospero Teaching is recruiting an exceptional Specialist English Tutor to work 1:1 with a current Year 9 male student receiving EOTAS provision. This student is highly intelligent and articulate, with a deep love of learning in areas that interest him, but he struggles with traditional demands, writing, and structured tasks due to Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).
This is a unique long-term role for an educator who can scaffold academic progress while adapting flexibly to the students individual pace and style. The ability to engage in his lessons is essential-he will share his interests with passion and expects the same curiosity in return. We would also be open to tutoring sessions taking place over the Summer holidays to allow for rapport building between the successful tutor and young person

Essential Criteria:
- Experience working with students with PDA, Aspergers and Autism
- Confident scribing and using alternative learning methods
- Calm, therapeutic, and engaging communication style
- Willing to be led by the students strengths and passions
- Specialism in English (QTS/QTLS)
Pay & Structure:
This role begins at GBP50/hour, with potential for a higher rate based on experience and alignment with the students needs. Travel and fuel costs are also open to negotiation.
