Maths or English Tutor (School Hours)

Locations: schools across West Yorkshire including Leeds and Bradford.

About us
Proudly Northern, Tutor Trust is a not-for-profit charity transforming young lives through subsidised, high-quality tutoring. We champion educational equity, ensuring support reaches those who need it most, regardless of postcode or background. Most of our work is SATs and GCSE tutoring in English and maths.

Why tutor with us
Our tutoring happens during the school day, Monday to Friday. If you’ve graduated and you’re job hunting, working part-time or working out your next step, that’s time you can put to good use. You’ll earn a minimum of £20 an hour, choose which assignments you take on, and get real experience in schools.

This is a crucial, self-employed role where you can make a tangible difference in your local community. We offer a comprehensive training and development programme and provide the flexibility to fit tuition around your existing commitments. We actively encourage applications from individuals with varied experiences and perspectives, as we believe this diversity enriches our tutoring team and enables us to better support our pupils.

What you’ll do

• Tutor pupils in small groups of up to four, and sometimes up to six.
• Get to know your pupils over a typical 15-hour assignment, adapting your sessions to how each of them learns.
• Help pupils feel confident in a subject you know well.
• Keep pupils safe by following our safeguarding policies and keeping professional boundaries.

What you’ll need

• Skills and knowledge equivalent to a grade 6 at GCSE in English Language or maths, depending on the subject you tutor. We’re flexible on formal qualifications if you’ve studied the subject at a higher level or have relevant work or volunteering experience.
• A belief that every young person deserves to do well, whatever their background.
• To be 18 or over, available during the school day (Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00), and able to travel to schools in your local area.

Experience with young people helps but isn’t essential. We give you full training before you start, and support all the way through.

Safeguarding and checks
We are committed to safeguarding children. As a tutor, you will be in unsupervised contact with pupils, and this role is a regulated activity. All successful applicants must undergo a mandatory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check with a check of the barred list. By the start of the position, you must have permission to register and work as a self-employed worker in the UK.
