Summary

Dedicated Functional Skills tutors needed to support young learners in Peterborough.

Fleet Education Services is a provider of high-quality one-to-one and small group education programmes for schools and local authorities that support learners both in and out of school. We provide impactful, quality assured tuition, delivered by the best tutors who all share in our aim to ensure that every learner we support thrives.

What we are looking for

We have learners who need you to make a difference to their lives now; this is your opportunity to provide enduring, holistic in-person support to young people referred to us that demonstrate additional learning requirements or who are struggling to meet age-related academic expectations. Your skill and expertise will play a leading role in improving their self-confidence and subject knowledge, ultimately becoming a positive influence during their journey throughout education. Learners referred to us will generally require tuition either in their own homes with a parent/guardian present for the session, or at their school.

We receive frequent opportunities to tutor in and nearby Peterborough. Our tutors have full control over the hours and placements that they accept from us - applicants with excellent availability for in-person tutoring will be provided considerable hours on a weekly basis, including daytime opportunities.
