SEN Primary Outreach Tutor

Location: Barking and Dagenham

About the Role

Prospero Teaching is seeking a compassionate and experienced SEN Primary Outreach Tutor to deliver bespoke 1:1 educational support to primary-aged pupils who are currently not accessing mainstream education.

This role involves planning and delivering tailored learning programmes designed to re‑engage pupils, address gaps in learning, and rebuild confidence.

This position is ideal for a qualified teacher or tutor who is looking to step away from the classroom environment and focus on personalised, rewarding teaching that makes a direct impact on a child's educational journey.

Prospero Teaching will work closely with you to monitor pupil progress and provide ongoing support to ensure positive outcomes.
