Primary Tutor

Are you a compassionate and experienced primary teacher with a desire to make a difference? TPTutors is looking for a dedicated Primary Tutor to support Looked After Children (LAC) in the Gateshead area—both those currently out of education and those who may need additional support within a school setting.

This rewarding role involves delivering the primary curriculum through tailored, one-to-one or small-group sessions—either at home, in school, or in the community—helping pupils re-engage with learning while they await a new school place or require additional support within their current setting.

What We're Looking For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS essential)

• Experience teaching the primary curriculum (EYFS, KS1 and/or KS2)

• Understanding of the needs of Looked After Children and those out of mainstream education

• A calm, patient, and nurturing approach to supporting vulnerable learners

• Confidence delivering engaging, child-led sessions in a range of environments (home, school, community)

• Flexibility and independence to manage your own timetable

Why Join TPTutors?

• Competitive rates and flexible working arrangements

• An opportunity to make a lasting impact on vulnerable children's education and wellbeing

• Supportive team and regular CPD opportunities

• Varied, meaningful work across Gateshead

• A role where your skills and compassion truly matter

If you're passionate about supporting children at a crucial time in their lives, we’d love to hear from you.
