Tutor

Salary: £36 – £38.4 per hour

Lexia Education Services, work in partnership with schools, local authorities, parents and carers, acting as the missing “jigsaw piece” in organising and setting up an alternative or additional education provision.

About the assignment:

We are looking for a qualified teacher who can deliver 8 hours of education to a Year 8 child ASAP, this will be at his home in Yeovil, Somerset.

The sessions would be 4 x 2 hours per week (within ‘school hours’ and term time only)

• The young boy has a diagnosis of autism and as a result has complex learning difficulties, speech and language difficulties and social communication difficulties. Sam has low self-esteem; he is aware of his difficulties and that his work is different from his peers. At times this can cause him frustration at school, as he wants to be the same as his peers.
• The tutor will need to provide frequent opportunities for repetition and multi-sensory learning (tasks should not require him to hold too much in mind or require him to store and process too much information simultaneously).
• He needs to support to exercise his fine motor and handwriting skills and is roughly working at a KS1 level.
• He loves forest school, being a big brother, and helping around the house with washing up – he wants to join the army when he’s older.

The successful Tutor will:

• Be passionate about working with children with additional needs.
• Be adaptable and quick learning, able to think on their feet.
• Have solid understanding of the UK national curriculum and be able to produce their own resources.
• Be able to set firm boundaries whilst showing empathy and resilience to pupil behaviours.
