Specialised SEN Outreach Tutor - Barking & Dagenham

About the Role
Prospero Teaching is seeking a dedicated and experienced SEN Outreach Tutor to work 1:1 with young learners who are currently not in mainstream education. This is a rewarding opportunity for a qualified teacher looking to move away from the traditional classroom setting and make a real difference through personalised learning support.

As an Outreach Tutor, you'll plan and deliver engaging, tailored lessons designed to re-engage pupils, close learning gaps, and build confidence-particularly for those with special educational needs (SEN). Many of the students you'll support may have been out of education for extended periods and may face challenges including anxiety, SEMH needs, or learning difficulties.

We're looking for compassionate, resilient educators who can offer consistency, patience, and creativity to help these learners thrive.
