1:1 Tutor - Rushden
Location: Rushden, Northamptonshire
Start Date: September 2025
Contract: Flexible | Part-Time or Full-Time | Ongoing
Salary: £25-£30 per hour (paid weekly)

Are you an experienced educator who wants to support young people outside of a traditional classroom setting?
If you're passionate about helping students achieve their potential, 1:1 tuition in Rushden could be the ideal next step.

We are currently seeking dedicated, empathetic, and adaptable tutors to work with pupils in Rushden who are unable to access full-time mainstream education. These young learners may be awaiting a school place, struggling with their current setting, or receiving education through the local authority.

This role offers a meaningful way to make a difference - with the flexibility to shape your schedule and work at a manageable pace.

What Does a 1:1 Tutor Role Involve?

  • Planning and delivering tailored lessons based on the pupil's current level and learning needs

  • Building positive, encouraging relationships to help students re-engage with education

  • Following EHCPs or personalised learning plans

  • Completing simple online session reports after each lesson

  • Working flexibly - during the school day or after school, face-to-face or online

  • Supporting students across various settings: mainstream schools, alternative provisions, or their homes

What We Offer:

  • A steady stream of tuition referrals across Rushden and the surrounding area

  • A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your tutoring journey

  • Opportunities that match your subject strengths, age range preference, and availability

  • Weekly pay at competitive rates (£25-£30 per hour)

  • Free access to over 2,500 CPD-accredited training courses through The National College

Who We're Looking For:

  • Experience working with children or young people in education, tuition, or support roles

  • A calm, patient, and positive communicator

  • Someone confident delivering learning independently and adapting quickly to individual needs

  • Strong behaviour management skills

  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)

  • Teaching qualification desirable but not essential - experience matters most

Whether you're a retired teacher, stepping back from the classroom, or looking for a more flexible way to make an impact, 1:1 tutoring in Rushden offers the opportunity to change lives while working on your own terms.
