Quantum Scholars is seeking an experienced, patient and supportive English and Maths Tutor to provide personalised, one-to-one educational support to a Year 10 child or young person (CYP) in Bromyard, Herefordshire.

The role will involve delivering approximately 6-10 hours of tuition per week, across Tuesdays and Thursdays, supporting the learner in both English and Maths. The successful candidate will have strong subject knowledge in both areas and, importantly, experience supporting young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs is essential.

You will need to be confident adapting your teaching approach to suit the learner's individual needs, abilities and emotional presentation. The ability to build a positive professional relationship, establish trust and create a calm, consistent learning environment will be key to helping the young person engage with education and make progress.

This role would suit a flexible and resilient tutor who understands the challenges some young people face in accessing education and can deliver structured, engaging sessions while responding sensitively to individual needs.

The role may involve:

• Delivering 6-10 hours of tailored, one-to-one English and Maths tuition per week.

• Providing tuition on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with hours arranged across these days.

• Supporting Year 10 learning and working towards appropriate GCSE-level outcomes.

• Developing English skills, including reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, punctuation, creative writing and written communication.

• Teaching core Maths topics, including number, calculations, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra and problem-solving.

• Identifying gaps in learning and planning targeted activities to address areas of difficulty.

• Adapting teaching methods, resources and session structures to suit the learner's individual needs and interests.

• Breaking down challenging concepts into manageable steps to build understanding and confidence.

• Supporting the young person with any emotional or behavioural barriers that may affect their engagement with learning.

• Using appropriate strategies to encourage participation, motivation and positive learning habits.

• Building a trusting professional relationship while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations.

• Monitoring progress and providing feedback to parents/carers and other relevant professionals where appropriate.

• Maintaining professional standards, confidentiality and safeguarding procedures.

The ideal candidate must have:

• Strong subject knowledge in both English and Maths at secondary level.

• Essential experience supporting young people with SEMH needs.

• Experience delivering one-to-one tuition or personalised educational support.

• Confidence teaching Year 10 learners and supporting GCSE-level content.

• The ability to adapt teaching approaches to meet individual academic, emotional and behavioural needs.

• A calm, patient, empathetic and resilient approach.

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.

• The ability to motivate learners who may have experienced difficulties engaging with education.

• Flexibility and availability to deliver 6-10 hours of tuition across Tuesdays and Thursdays.

• Reliability and a genuine commitment to helping young people achieve their potential.

• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

• An enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and the right to work in the UK.

Experience within EOTAS, alternative provision or other non-mainstream educational settings would be particularly advantageous.

Quantum Scholars is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All applicants will be subject to appropriate safeguarding and safer recruitment checks.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
