Sociology Tutors (Face to Face) Brighton & Hove in Horsham

Job Opportunity: Sociology Teachers / Tutors

Location: Brighton & Hove areas (Must be Face to Face)

Rate: £32.00–£42.00 per hour (based on experience and qualifications)

We are seeking experienced, self-employed Sociology Teachers to deliver high-quality, in-person tuition to children and young people across Brighton & Hove and the wider Sussex areas. This role would suit teachers or tutors who are deeply knowledgeable, child‑centred, and values driven, within a professionally led, supportive agency that prioritises quality, safeguarding, and outcomes over volume.

Who we are

Elite Tutors Sussex is a SENCO‑led tutoring and education consultancy, founded and run by qualified teachers and SENDCos. We work closely with families, schools, and local authorities, supporting students with dyslexia, SEND, SEMH, anxiety, and complex learning profiles. Our approach is professional, evidence‑informed, and collaborative.

We are frequently recommended to families by:

• Educational Psychologists
• Specialist Dyslexia Assessors
• Speech and Language Therapists
• Occupational Therapists

These referrals reflect our reputation for:

• High‑quality specialist teaching
• Robust safeguarding and SEND practice
• Clear communication with professionals
• Thoughtful, child‑centred approaches

Many of the families we support come to us specifically because other professionals trust our judgement and the calibre of tutors we work with. We take a person‑centred, holistic approach and actively support our tutors through clear communication, professional guidance, safeguarding oversight, and high‑quality CPD. Many tutors tell us that working with Elite feels fundamentally different from other agencies. We are not a volume‑based agency. As a SENCO‑led, relationship‑driven organisation, we are intentionally selective and ensure our tutors are supported, known, and valued as professionals. We have a strong reputation locally, for our expertise, advice, and the quality of dyslexia specialists we work with.

Who We’re Looking For

• Qualified teachers or experienced tutors
• You love working with children and making a difference to young people
• You can confidently liaise with schools, SENCOs, or external professionals
• Passionate, flexible, and creative teachers
• You are able to offer in-person sessions in Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex areas
• UK residents happy to complete an Enhanced DBS check

You Must have

• Experience working 1:1 with children or young people
• Confident delivering in-person tuition in family homes or agreed settings
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
• Professional, reflective, and child‑centred approach

What We Offer

• Daytime work available (and growing fast!)
• Professional trust and recommendations from EPs, therapists, schools, and LAs
• Excellent pay reflecting your experience: £32.00-£42.00 per hour
• No admin stress — we handle marketing, client matching, and invoicing
• Ongoing support from experienced teachers
• A genuine sense of community — SEND workshops, coffee mornings, summer socials, and even a book club
• Discounted Tutors’ Association membership
• Access to a growing online resource hub (we invest in your growth, not just your time)
• Families waiting to book you

What Our Tutors Say

Elite is definitely a cut above the rest. From the interview process it was evident that Elite was more than a tutoring company, offering a warm and inclusive environment where both tutors and students are supported to achieve their best… Elite embodies the approach that should be seen in all areas of education. The level of CPD offered is impressive and useful… the company attends crucial SEND and safeguarding meetings and then conveys all relevant information clearly, ensuring tutors can meet the holistic needs of the student.
