Support Every Learner to Achieve More

TP Tutors is seeking caring, skilled and enthusiastic tutors to deliver individualised educational support to children and young people across Bedford and nearby areas.

This opportunity is ideal for teachers, experienced tutors and education professionals who want flexible work while helping pupils improve their academic performance, develop confidence and re-engage with learning.

Tuition will be delivered face-to-face in pupils' homes, schools and alternative education settings. Learners may need help catching up with schoolwork, preparing for exams, returning to education or accessing personalised support suited to their circumstances.

About the Position

You will deliver engaging, structured tuition designed around each pupil's abilities, interests and learning objectives. Assignments may include primary and secondary education, GCSE preparation, Functional Skills, SEND support, home tuition and alternative provision.

Subjects and Teaching Areas

We welcome tutors who can confidently support learners in one or more of the following:

• English, Maths and Science
• Primary-level reading, writing and numeracy
• GCSE subjects and examination preparation
• Functional Skills
• Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages
• Computing, Creative Arts and other curriculum subjects

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver tailored one-to-one sessions to address individual learning needs.
• Prepare engaging lessons and appropriate educational resources.
• Review pupil progress and adapt teaching plans accordingly.
• Use inclusive teaching techniques to accommodate different learning styles and abilities.
• Encourage positive behaviour, participation, confidence and independent learning.
• Maintain professional communication with parents, carers, schools and relevant professionals.
• Keep accurate records and follow safeguarding and child protection procedures.

Essential Requirements

• At least two years of teaching or tutoring experience in the UK.
• Experience or knowledge of primary, secondary, GCSE, Functional Skills or SEND education.
• Strong communication, organisation, lesson planning and behaviour management skills.
• Reliable transport or suitable travel arrangements for assignments across Bedford and neighbouring areas.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or willingness to obtain one.

A recognised teaching qualification, such as QTS or PGCE, is desirable but not essential.

Desirable Experience

Experience supporting children and young people with additional needs is advantageous. This may include autism (ASC), ADHD, SEMH, dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs (SLCN), EHCPs, emotional or behavioural challenges, and interrupted education.

Previous involvement in home tuition, alternative provision or supporting pupils who struggle to access mainstream education would also be beneficial.

What We Provide

• Competitive weekly pay.
• Flexible assignments across different educational settings.
• Ongoing guidance from a dedicated specialist consultant.
• Weekly in-house payroll.
• Free CPD and specialist development opportunities.
• Access to a variety of local tuition placements.
• Temporary opportunities with the potential to become permanent.
• The opportunity to make a positive difference to children's education and wellbeing.

Location and Availability

We have opportunities across Bedford and surrounding communities. Applicants must be able to travel reliably to pupils' homes, schools and alternative education settings and be available on weekdays during school hours.

If you are passionate about education, value inclusive learning and want to help pupils overcome barriers to achievement, we would be delighted to hear from you.
