We are seeking an empathetic, patient, and creative SEN Tutor to deliver a highly personalized, low-demand 1:1 learning program for a bright Year 9 student in the Pocklington area.
Due to prolonged non-attendance and severe anxiety, the student requires a slow, therapeutically informed re-engagement with education. The initial focus will be entirely on building trust, emotional readiness, and functional literacy/numeracy skills rather than formal academic targets.
Key Responsibilities:
Deliver short, manageable, interest-led sessions (focused on science, nature, animals, and maths).
Implement a low-arousal, low-demand approach to reduce pressure and anxiety.
Scaffold literacy and early writing using creative, alternative methods (visuals, technology, discussion) without pushing formal tasks before the student is ready.
Maintain strong consistency, predictable routines, and patience during session transitions.
Essential Criteria:
Strong knowledge and hands-on experience supporting learners with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation needs.
Experience delivering early/foundational literacy skills and alternative recording methods.
Ability to build trust and attunement slowly without rushing rapport.
Resilience, flexibility, and a warm, low-pressure approach.
Desirable Criteria:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent SEN teaching experience.
Background in trauma-informed or low-demand educational practices.
