Are you a high-achieving English graduate with a real passion for language, literature and helping young people develop their academic abilities?
Are you considering a future in teaching and looking for an opportunity to gain meaningful, day-to-day classroom experience before committing to formal teacher training?
Would you like to become an active part of a secondary school's English department, supporting lessons, contributing to learning and developing the practical skills needed to become a confident classroom practitioner?
A well-regarded and forward-thinking Liverpool secondary school is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and academically strong graduate to join its English department as a Graduate English Class Tutor.
The Role - Graduate English Class Tutor
As a Graduate English Class Tutor, you will work alongside experienced English teachers, becoming a regular presence in the classroom and supporting the delivery of engaging, well-structured lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4.

- Supporting the delivery of English lessons across KS3 and KS4, working alongside the class teacher to maintain engagement and encourage participation.
- Taking an active role in whole-class learning, helping explain concepts, reinforce subject knowledge and guide pupils through lesson activities.
- Providing targeted support to individuals and small groups while maintaining a strong focus on the wider classroom.
- Helping students develop their reading comprehension, written communication, literary analysis and critical thinking skills.
- Supporting the teaching of GCSE English Language and Literature, including preparation for examinations and the development of effective revision techniques.
- Assisting with lesson planning, preparing classroom resources and adapting activities to support different learning abilities.
- Monitoring pupil understanding and progress, providing feedback to teachers and identifying areas where additional support may be beneficial.
- Helping establish a positive, purposeful and academically focused classroom environment.
Who We're Looking For
The school is keen to hear from ambitious graduates with strong subject knowledge and a genuine interest in developing a career within secondary education.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
- A 2:1 degree or above in English, English Literature or a closely related subject.
- A clear interest in pursuing teacher training and a long-term career in education.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas in an accessible way.
- Strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing a passion for English with young people.
- Confidence, patience and the ability to build positive relationships with secondary-aged pupils.
- A proactive, organised and professional approach, with the flexibility to support different classroom activities.
- Previous experience working with young people or within an educational setting would be advantageous, but is not essential.
