Prospero Teaching are partnered with Local Authorities, SEND teams, and schools throughout the UK, providing tailored educational support to children and young people who are currently out of education, disengaged from learning, or require additional support to achieve qualifications.
We are currently seeking experienced Functional Skills Tutors to support Key Stage 4 learners who are not currently on track to achieve a pass mark in GCSE Maths and/or English, or who would benefit from working towards a Functional Skills qualification instead.
Tutors will be required to deliver Functional Skills Maths and/or English at Entry Level 3, Level 1, or Level 2, depending on the learner's baseline assessment and current working level. Many of the young people we support have SEND needs, gaps in education, low confidence, or difficulties engaging within mainstream settings, so we are looking for tutors who are patient, adaptable, and able to build positive relationships.
Support will take place during the school day and can be offered for up to 15 hours per week. Tutors will also be expected to carry out baseline assessments to determine the most appropriate Functional Skills level for each learner and prepare them towards achieving their qualification.
