A family based in Surrey are looking for a bright, dedicated graduate to help with one-to-one educational support predominantly for their 14-year-old daughter, as well as assisting with their 12-year-old daughter when needed.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a recent graduate looking to gain valuable experience in teaching or child development in education before a career in teaching, or looking to gain experience on a gap year. The role is an ASAP start and is a full-time, permanent position.
The client is looking for a candidate to ideally work with the family for the full academic year of 2021-2022.
Key Responsibilities (during school hours)
- Acting as a 'teaching assistant' during school hours, going to all the core classes (English, maths, science, history and art) to support with taking notes and assisting when the pupil needs direct attention and help.
- During non-core classes, spending one-on-one time going through homework, revision, tests and exam preparation.
- Liaise with both support and subject teachers to find out the methods they use to teach each subject and apply same in tutoring and revising.
Key Responsibilities (outside of school hours)
- Produce a visual schedule for both children and place them in areas of the house that are always accessible to them and their parents.
- Spending time after school hours going over necessary work and assisting with personal goals and development in core subjects.
- Working occasional Saturdays when it is exam season, and during school holidays planning and taking the pupils out on 'educational trips' that will help to develop social skills and confidence outside of school.
COVID-19
- In the context of Covid-19, it is important that the tutor is flexible with regard to working within the family home while both pupils attend school online via Zoom until schools are permitted to resume teaching in person.
- A large part of the role requires building a strong bond and trusting rapport with both girls and it is essential that this is done in person with respect to both individual?s needs.
What do You Need?
- A 2:1 or above (or equivalent) in a relevant degree subject, such as humanities, social sciences, English, or teaching qualifications.
- A full UK driving license, as you will be split across two locations on the Surrey and Berkshire border; the family home and the school, respectively.
- Experience in working with young people in any capacity, although ideally in an academic setting.
- An interest in working in child development or the education sector.
- To be able to start ASAP.
A DBS check will be provided by the employer.
