  • Offering tuition during the school day or after school hours, either face-to-face or online

  • Supporting learners in a variety of settings: mainstream schools, alternative provisions, or homes

What We Offer:

  • A steady stream of 121 tuition referrals across Rushden and surrounding areas

  • A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your tutoring journey

  • Flexible roles suited to your subject strengths, experience, and availability

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

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

Who We're Looking For:

  • Experience working with children or young people in tutoring, teaching, mentoring, or support roles

  • A calm, positive, and patient communicator

  • Someone confident delivering learning independently and adapting to individual needs

  • Strong behaviour management and rapport-building skills

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

  • Teaching qualification welcome but not essential - relevant experience is key
