KS1 SEN Tutor – Lewisham

Location: Lewisham, South East London

Pay: £25–£35 per hour

Hours: 10–15 hours tuition per student + 2–3 additional paid planning & preparation hours per week (12–18 paid hours total)

Schedule: Monday–Friday, daytime

Employment: PAYE

New Chapter Tuition is recruiting an experienced KS1 SEN Tutor to provide personalised 1:1 tuition to children who require education outside of, or additional to, a traditional classroom environment.

We currently have opportunities available across Lewisham, with individual tuition packages typically providing 10–15 hours of direct tuition per student each week, plus an additional 2–3 paid hours for planning and preparation.

This means each individual student package provides approximately 12–18 paid hours per week, with opportunities to support additional learners and build a fuller weekly timetable.

The Role

As a KS1 SEN Tutor, you will provide consistent, relationship-led 1:1 support tailored around the individual learner.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering personalised KS1 English and Maths tuition
• Planning engaging activities around individual ability and interests
• Adapting learning for children working below age-related expectations
• Using practical, visual and sensory approaches to learning
• Supporting communication, emotional regulation and engagement
• Using strategies such as visual prompts and Now & Next
• Building positive and trusting relationships with learners
• Working towards EHCP outcomes and individual educational targets
• Monitoring progress and completing weekly reports
• Preparing appropriate learning resources for each session

Initial sessions may have a greater focus on relationship‑building, communication and engagement, allowing academic learning to develop at an appropriate pace.

Who Are We Looking For?

We would particularly like to hear from:

• Qualified Primary Teachers
• SEN Teachers
• Experienced SEN or Primary Tutors
• HLTAs
• Experienced SEND education professionals

Previous experience supporting autistic and/or non-verbal children is highly desirable.

You should be confident adapting both your teaching and communication style to meet individual needs, including the use of visual communication, modelling, sensory learning, repetition and appropriate processing time.

Above all, we are looking for tutors who are patient, creative, reliable and relationship-led, with a genuine understanding that progress looks different for every child.

Pay & Hours

£25–£35 per hour, dependent on experience and qualifications.

Each student package typically includes:

• 10–15 hours of direct 1:1 tuition per week
• An additional 2–3 paid hours per week for planning and preparation
• 12–18 paid hours in total per student, per week
• Opportunities to support additional learners and build a fuller timetable

Why Join New Chapter Tuition?

• £25–£35 per hour
• Additional paid planning and preparation time
• Weekly PAYE pay
• Consistent weekday tuition packages
• Opportunities to build your hours across multiple learners
• Free specialist CPD and ongoing training
• Access to learning and assessment resources
• Ongoing support throughout each tuition package

At New Chapter Tuition, we believe education should be built around the individual. Our tutors have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with learners and provide the consistency, creativity and personalised support they need to engage and progress.
