Quantum Scholars is working closely with local Alternative Provision providers and education services in Wokingham to recruit experienced and compassionate Specialist SEND Tutors to provide one-to-one support for children and young people across Wokingham and the surrounding areas.
As an Alternative Provision provider, we support learners who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to a range of additional needs. This rewarding role involves delivering personalised, face-to-face tuition that helps young people rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning, and achieve positive educational outcomes.
Tuition sessions are typically delivered in learners’ homes or appropriate community settings during school hours.

- Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
- Medical needs
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

- Encourage confidence, independence and a positive attitude towards learning.

We are particularly keen to hear from tutors based in Wokingham, Winnersh, Woodley, Earley, Finchampstead, Arborfield, Twyford, Crowthorne and the surrounding areas, where learner referrals are continuing to increase.
