• You will help pupils secure method marks by modelling step-by-step working and improving accuracy.
• You will support exam technique, including interpreting questions, choosing strategies, and checking answers properly.
• You will build confidence with timed practice, retrieval starters, and targeted “fix the gap” tasks.
• You will support pupils who struggle with focus or confidence by using clear routines and calm, consistent expectations.
• You will track progress and common errors, then feedback clearly to the class teacher and department.
• You will follow safeguarding and behaviour policies at all times and report concerns immediately.

 
The Candidate

• You will have a 2:2 degree or above, ideally in Maths, Engineering, Physics, Economics, Computer Science, or a closely related subject.
• You will have GCSE English and Maths at grade 4/C or above.
• You will explain Maths clearly and keep your delivery simple, calm, and method focused.
• You will be confident working with teenagers and setting professional boundaries.
• You will be organised, consistent, and comfortable delivering structured intervention sessions week after week.
• You will have an enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or you will be willing to obtain one.
