Online GCSE/A LEVEL BUSINESS / ECONOMICS Tutors
We are a provider of Alternative Provision (tutoring and mentoring) for students from KS2 through to young adults, working closely with BCP Council, Dorset Council, Herefordshire Council, schools and MATs. Due to an increased demand and future growth opportunities, we are looking to hire additional contractors for online GCSE/A LEVEL Business & Economics tutors with an immediate start available (subject to compliance checks and onboarding). This is a perfect opportunity for former or part-time teachers for daytime work (09:00-17:00) by negotiation.
Students usually have online lessons from home, but they could also be in school and these online sessions will work around their timetable. You must have a secure environment from which to deliver tuition (e.g. spare room or private office) and have confidence with using digital tools.
A full recruitment process and sample interview lesson will take place, along with all the usual personnel checks, qualification verification and reference requests.
Sessions are typically arranged for 1 or 1.5 hours each. Work is term-time only, with negotiable days/times and potential for group lessons (multiple students).
