Academic Tutor (private Tuition)

Job Title: 1:1 SEMH Home Tutor
Location: Leicester City
Start Date: ASAP
Contract: Contract / Flexible Hours
Pay: £20 – £35 per hour, depending on experience

Do you have experience supporting young people with challenging behaviour and SEMH needs?

Can you build relationships with pupils who have struggled to engage in mainstream education?

Are you confident supporting young people who have experienced permanent exclusion or are at risk of exclusion?

TeacherActive is looking for resilient, patient and engaging 1:1 Tutors to work with young people across Leicester City who require education outside of a mainstream school setting.

The pupils we support may have Social, Emotional and Mental Health / SEMH needs, display challenging behaviour, have experienced permanent exclusion, or have struggled to engage successfully within a traditional classroom environment.

As a 1:1 SEMH Tutor, your role will be about much more than delivering academic work. You'll need to build trust, establish consistent boundaries and gradually re-engage pupils with learning at a pace that works for them.

Sessions may take place within the pupil's home or an agreed community setting, with tuition tailored around their individual needs, ability and circumstances.

The successful 1:1 Tutor will have:

• Experience working with pupils with SEMH needs and challenging behaviour
• Experience supporting pupils who have been permanently excluded or are at risk of exclusion
• Confidence working independently on a 1:1 basis
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
• The ability to build positive and professional relationships with disengaged learners
• A calm, resilient and non-judgemental approach
• Experience within education, SEND, alternative provision, youth work or a similar setting
• A strong understanding of safeguarding

Your role could include:

• Delivering engaging and accessible 1:1 tuition
• Re-engaging pupils who have become disengaged from education
• Supporting core subjects such as English and Maths
• Adapting activities around the pupil's ability, interests and needs
• Managing challenging behaviour positively and consistently
• Supporting pupils to develop confidence, routine and positive attitudes towards learning
• Recording attendance, engagement and progress
• Liaising with parents, carers and other professionals where appropriate

In return, TeacherActive can offer:

• £20 – £35 per hour, depending on experience
• Flexible contract opportunities across Leicester City
• A dedicated TeacherActive consultant
• Access to CPD through My-Progression
• PAYE payment – no admin charges
• £100 referral scheme*

This could be a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Teacher, Tutor, SEND TA, Learning Mentor, Behaviour Mentor or Alternative Provision practitioner who wants to make a genuine difference to young people who need a different approach to education.
