Specialist Teacher

About this Role

Specialist Teacher

Earning between £35-45 an hour delivering interest based learning to students 1:1, you’ll build incredible relationships and inspire young people to achieve their goals. Often our students are disengaged from education and this is your opportunity to show them how amazing learning can be.

Working as a self-employed associate, your role is to creatively meet the needs of the individual student with holistic targets based in education, independence or wellbeing. Learning doesn’t ascribe to ‘one-size fits all’, and we don’t think education should either. Learning can take place anywhere the student is engaged, motivated and provoked into discovery of something new and amazing. Of something different and eye opening.

If you can make Minecraft be maths, cooking be chemistry and gardening be geography, the world will be your classroom. The possibilities are endless. If you have the passion, the ingenuity and the energy to make learning fun, you can be a Specialist Teacher.
