Secondary Tutor

Experienced Tutor –Chipping Norton &Bloxham

We are looking for committed and experienced tutors in the Chipping Norton & Bloxham area who are ready to take on a role that goes beyond academic teaching.

If you're an educator who understands that some young people need more than a lesson plan they need consistency, patience, and someone who truly understands them then we'd love to hear from you.

Available to start in the September term.

Who You'll Be Supporting

We receive a high volume of referrals for both primary and secondary-aged pupils, many of whom have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and other complex needs.

Our primary referrals are typically from schools looking for targeted, personalised intervention.

Our secondary referrals often involve students who:

• Are out of school or following reduced timetables
• Have struggled in mainstream education
• Need structured, calm, and consistent support to rebuild their confidence

Whether working with primary or secondary pupils, this role is about helping young people reconnect with learning at a pace that suits them, while providing clear structure and direction.

Availability Requirements

To be considered, you must be able to commit to:

• A minimum of 10–15 hours per week
• Core working hours between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm
• Availability from Monday to Friday

Consistency and reliability are essential, as the pupils we support thrive on routine and predictability.

More Than Just Teaching

Professionalism and communication are key parts of this role.

Tutors will be expected to:

• Accurately record and report attendance
• Monitor and document both academic and emotional progress
• Provide clear, professional feedback that can be shared with schools and other professionals
• Maintain high standards of safeguarding and record-keeping

Your reports may contribute to wider discussions with schools and external agencies, so attention to detail and clear communication are essential.

Your Background

We welcome applications from tutors with experience in:

• Primary or secondary schools, whether mainstream or specialist
• Alternative provision
• Private tuition
• Pastoral or youth-based roles

We're looking for tutors who can demonstrate:

• Strong behaviour management rooted in empathy
• Experience supporting pupils with SEMH or other complex needs
• Confidence working independently
• Professional written and verbal communication skills
• Resilience and emotional intelligence

Why This Role Matters

Progress isn't always reflected in a neat set of data.

Sometimes, it means:

• A primary-aged pupil beginning to believe in their own abilities
• A secondary student completing an entire session without disengaging
• A young person rebuilding trust in education

If you're passionate about making a measurable difference and can commit to consistent hours in the Oxford area, we would love to hear from you.
