Online Tutor

Pay for this role: Between GBP18 and GBP25 based on requirements and experience. 

A school in Stockport is looking for online tutors to offer support whilst school closures take place. The school requires tutors in multiple subjects.It is essential that the tutor will be able to confidently:

• Implement strategies specifically designed to ensure that students are able to maximise their ability, within an unconventional setting.
• Be able to provide educational material and resources that are relevant in ensuring that students are able to efficiently adapt to a new form of learning process.

Given current circumstances, it is imperative that the required tutor will be able to manage expectations with regards to completing work.

• Being able to obtain focus from students who may struggle to engage with the learning process.
• Considering the difficulties that students may face when learning online and being able to provide quick solutions to any problems that could be faced.
• Communicating with the school to relay any issues that may arise within the online learning process, as well as offering feedback to teaching staff/parents as well as the students whenever necessary.
• Working on an individual basis with students, to reinforce any learning that has been undertaken that day, whilst also encouraging students to work independantly to complete tasks. 
• Competence in using an online platform in order to benefit the overall progress of individuals. 

The requirements for the tutor are as follows:                                                       

• A degree (preferably related to the subjects being taught)
