Maths & English SEN Tutor

We are currently seeking dedicated and experienced tutors based in or around Wokingham who are interested in a role that involves more than delivering academic content.

This opportunity is well suited to educators who recognise that some young people need stability, understanding, and consistent guidance alongside their learning. If you’re someone who values patience, relationship-building, and meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

The Students You’ll Support

Most of our referrals involve secondary school-aged learners with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs or other complex challenges.

Many of the young people we support:

• Have found it difficult to thrive in mainstream school environments

• May currently be out of education or attending on a reduced timetable

• Require structured, calm, and consistent support to regain confidence in learning

The focus of this role is to help students re-engage with education at a pace that works for them, while providing clear structure and encouragement.

Availability

To ensure continuity for our students, we ask tutors to commit to:

• A minimum of 10–15 hours per week

• Core hours between 8:30am and 3:30pm

• Availability Monday to Friday

Consistency is extremely important in this role, as many of our learners benefit greatly from predictable routines and stable support.

Responsibilities Beyond Teaching

This position also requires a high level of professional communication and organisation.

Tutors are expected to:

• Maintain accurate attendance records

• Track and report both academic progress and emotional development

• Provide clear, structured feedback that can be shared with schools and partner professionals

• Follow strong safeguarding procedures and documentation standards

These updates play an important role in shaping decisions around education planning and external support, so attention to detail is essential.

Experience and Skills

We welcome applications from individuals who have worked in:

• Mainstream or specialist school settings

• Alternative provision

• Private tutoring

• Youth work or pastoral roles

Key qualities include:

• Confident and empathetic behaviour management

• Experience supporting learners with SEMH or complex needs

• The ability to work independently

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Emotional resilience and a calm, supportive approach

Why This Work Is Important

Success in this role isn’t always measured by grades alone.

Sometimes progress means:

• A student attending and participating calmly

• Completing work they once refused to attempt

• Rebuilding trust with a supportive adult

If you’re passionate about making a measurable difference and can commit to consistent hours in the Wokingham area, we would love to hear from you.
