About the Role

Quantum Scholars is seeking a patient, supportive and experienced EOTAS Maths Tutor to provide personalised, one-to-one tuition to a young person in Leominster. This role is ideal for a tutor who can adapt their teaching to meet individual needs and help pupils who may find accessing a traditional school environment challenging.

The successful candidate will have strong Maths subject knowledge and experience supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and/or Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Experience working with pupils who experience anxiety, school avoidance, disengagement or challenging behaviour would be particularly beneficial.

You will be responsible for creating a positive, flexible and supportive learning environment, helping the pupil develop their mathematical understanding, rebuild confidence and make meaningful progress at a pace that works for them.

Key Responsibilities

The role may involve:

• Delivering tailored, one-to-one Maths tuition as part of an Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS) provision.

• Identifying gaps in learning and developing an appropriate plan to support the pupil’s progress.

• Teaching Maths concepts in a clear, structured and accessible way, adapting explanations and resources to suit the pupil’s needs.

• Supporting the development of core mathematical skills, including number, calculations, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra and problem-solving, as appropriate to the pupil’s level.

• Adapting sessions to maintain engagement and accommodate the pupil’s individual learning style, interests and emotional needs.

• Supporting a pupil who may experience barriers to education, including anxiety, low confidence, school avoidance or challenging behaviour.

• Using patient, flexible and consistent approaches to encourage participation and positive learning experiences.

• Building a trusting professional relationship while maintaining appropriate boundaries.

• Monitoring progress and providing feedback on achievements, difficulties and next steps.

• Working professionally with parents, carers and other relevant professionals where appropriate.

• Maintaining high standards of safeguarding, confidentiality and professional conduct.

Essential Requirements

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong Maths subject knowledge and the ability to teach at the appropriate level.

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.

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

• The ability to adapt teaching methods to suit individual learning needs and abilities.

• A calm, patient, flexible and empathetic approach.

• The confidence to support pupils who may present with challenging behaviour or difficulties engaging with education.

• Strong communication and organisational skills, alongside reliability and professionalism.

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