-
Tailored Progress: Differentiate lessons to support students across all ability levels, building confidence in core numeracy and scientific inquiry.
-
Collaborative Impact: Work closely with both the Math and Science departments, sharing resources, tracking student data, and participating in parents' evenings.

Qualifications: QTS, QTLS, or a recognized formal teaching qualification. A degree in a STEM subject (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Engineering) is highly desirable.
-
Versatility: The ability to teach core algebraic, geometric, and numerical concepts alongside fundamental physics, chemistry, and biology topics.
-
Classroom Management: Excellent classroom management skills with the ability to foster a safe, curious, and focused learning environment.
