Maths and English Tutor

Looking for a More Rewarding Way to Teach? Try One-to-One Tuition in Bury (BL9)

If you've been thinking about stepping away from the classroom but still want to make a real difference, this could be just the opportunity you’re after.

We're looking for friendly, reliable tutors to support young learners in the Bury (BL9) area who aren’t currently in mainstream education. These pupils may be out of school due to a variety of reasons – anxiety, SEN, medical issues, or long-term absence – and they need someone who can help them re-engage with learning in a calm and supportive way.

This is flexible, one-to-one tuition that takes place either in the pupil’s home or in a local community space such as a library. It’s not just about helping them catch up academically – it’s about building trust, boosting confidence, and showing them that learning can be a positive experience.

What does the role involve?

• Delivering one-to-one sessions in subjects like English and Maths (depending on your strengths)

• Supporting learners who may be of various ages, but working at a range of levels

• Creating personalised, engaging lessons that meet pupils where they’re at

• Working within school hours (between 8am–4pm), on a schedule that suits you

• Helping learners who may have SEN, social/emotional needs, or gaps in education

Is this right for you?

This role would suit anyone with experience in education – whether you’re a former teacher, teaching assistant, tutor, or someone with strong subject knowledge and a passion for helping others.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working with children or young people

• Feel confident delivering core subjects up to at least primary level

• Are calm, patient and able to adapt your approach

• Understand the needs of pupils who may be facing personal or educational challenges

• Want a more flexible, rewarding role that still makes an impact

What’s in it for you?

• £25–£30 per hour, depending on experience

• Flexible working – choose your hours and availability

• Work local to you – placements across the Bury area

• A chance to step away from the pressures of the classroom

• Full support from our experienced team

• Ongoing CPD opportunities if you’d like to keep learning too

This isn’t just about tuition – it’s about showing young people that someone believes in them. And sometimes, that makes all the difference.
