Overview
Tradewind Recruitment is seeking enthusiastic and reliable Face‑to‑Face Tutors to provide academic support to students across Key Stages 2 to 4 in the Grantham area of Lincolnshire. This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with learners who may require additional support to re‑engage with education, rebuild confidence, and make meaningful progress in core subjects.
Many of the pupils we support benefit from structured, consistent 1:1 tuition outside of mainstream classroom settings. Most students receive approximately 10 hours of tuition per week, typically delivered as 2 hours per day across five days. We are particularly keen to hear from tutors looking to support multiple students, tutors seeking flexible or part‑time work, and tutors who can adapt to schools, alternative provisions, community settings or the learner’s home as appropriate. The role offers flexibility and can be tailored around your subject specialism, availability and experience.
