• Break down complex topics into manageable steps, making learning accessible and achievable.

• Support a young person who may experience anxiety, low confidence, school avoidance or disengagement from education.

• Respond calmly and consistently to challenging behaviour, using appropriate behaviour-management and de-escalation strategies.

• Build a trusting relationship while maintaining clear and appropriate boundaries.

• Encourage motivation, resilience, independence and a positive attitude towards learning.

• Monitor progress and provide feedback to parents, carers and relevant professionals.

• Maintain accurate records and adhere to safeguarding and confidentiality requirements.

Essential Requirements

• Experience delivering GCSE tuition or personalised educational support.

• Good knowledge of the GCSE curriculum and examination expectations.

• Previous experience supporting learners who are unable to access mainstream education.

• Ability to adapt teaching to meet individual academic, emotional and behavioural needs.

• Confidence supporting young people who may display challenging behaviour.

• A patient, calm, flexible and empathetic approach.

• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to maintain appropriate boundaries.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills.

• Reliable, professional and committed to helping young people overcome barriers to education.
