Help Every Learner Discover Their Potential

Are you an inspiring educator who enjoys helping young people overcome challenges and succeed in their learning?

TP Tutors is looking for committed teachers and experienced tutors to deliver personalised educational support to pupils across Cambridge and nearby communities. Whether your strengths lie in primary education, secondary subjects, GCSE preparation or Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), you'll have the opportunity to make a positive impact through flexible, rewarding work.

You'll support pupils on a one-to-one basis in their homes, schools and alternative education settings, creating a supportive learning environment where they can develop skills, rebuild confidence and make meaningful progress.

Your Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver engaging lessons tailored to individual learning needs and academic goals.
• Support pupils across primary, secondary and GCSE levels, including English, Maths and Science.
• Help learners address gaps in knowledge, prepare for examinations and develop core skills.
• Adapt teaching approaches to accommodate different abilities, learning styles and additional needs.
• Monitor progress, maintain accurate records and adjust learning plans where necessary.
• Promote positive behaviour, motivation, independence and a love of learning.
• Build professional relationships with parents, carers, schools and other relevant professionals.
• Follow safeguarding, child protection and relevant educational procedures.

Areas of Tuition

We welcome applications from tutors experienced in one or more of the following:

• Primary education, including literacy and numeracy.
• Secondary education and GCSE examination preparation.
• English, Maths and Science.
• Functional Skills and core subject support.
• Humanities, Modern Foreign Languages, Computing and Creative Arts.
• SEND tuition, home education and alternative provision.

Essential Requirements

• At least two years of teaching or tutoring experience in the UK.
• Experience supporting primary, secondary, GCSE, Functional Skills or SEND learners.
• Excellent communication, organisation and lesson-planning skills.

Experience That Will Stand Out

• Competitive weekly pay and weekly in-house payroll.
• Flexible tuition assignments during school hours.
• Dedicated guidance from a specialist education consultant.
