Help Every Learner Move Forward

TP Tutors is recruiting motivated and compassionate Education Tutors to deliver tailored tuition to children and young people in Daventry and nearby communities.

This is a great opportunity for teachers and experienced tutors who want flexible work while helping pupils overcome educational challenges, improve their knowledge and develop a more positive approach to learning.

You will provide individual tuition in pupils’ homes, schools and alternative education settings. Depending on each placement, you may help pupils strengthen subject knowledge, prepare for examinations, develop essential academic skills or reconnect with education after a period away from school.

What the Role Involves

• Deliver one-to-one sessions suited to each pupil’s learning level and individual targets.
• Design lesson plans and resources that make learning accessible and engaging.
• Evaluate progress and adapt sessions to address areas requiring additional support.
• Use appropriate strategies to meet a range of educational abilities and learning needs.
• Build positive relationships that encourage participation, resilience and independent study.
• Work alongside parents, schools and other professionals to support pupils’ development.
• Record learning outcomes and adhere to safeguarding and child protection requirements.

We are interested in tutors who can support one or more of the following:

• English, Mathematics and Science.
• Primary curriculum subjects, reading, writing and numeracy.
• Secondary-level subjects and GCSE revision.
• Functional Skills qualifications.
• Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages.
• Computing, Creative Arts and other National Curriculum subjects.
