About the role

Study Mind is looking for a qualified Science teacher to provide individual tuition for a Year 9 pupil catching up after health-related absences.

You will teach missed topics across Biology, Chemistry and Physics, helping the pupil understand the content she has missed rather than simply complete work sent home.

The role requires a patient tutor who can build trust and adapt teaching around autism, anxiety and variable energy levels.

What you’ll do

*

Identify gaps and plan lessons linked to the school’s KS3 Science curriculum.

*

Explain scientific concepts using clear examples, visuals and manageable activities.

*

Develop scientific vocabulary and confidence answering questions.

*

Check understanding regularly and adjust the pace when needed.

*

Liaise with school and family and record progress.

Requirements

*

QTS and relevant Science teaching experience.

*

Confidence teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics at KS3.

*

Understanding of autism, anxiety and flexible learning support.

*

Ability to establish a positive, consistent tutoring relationship.

*

Availability for one regular morning and travel

Sessions may begin at one hour and build towards two. Hours will be reviewed around the pupil’s health and school attendance.

Apply

Send your CV, QTS status and availability across Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Appointment is subject to Enhanced DBS, references and Study Mind’s safeguarding and Compliance checks
