  • Student Support:

Prepare students for GCSE Science exams by focusing on key concepts, exam strategies, and practical skills.

  • Professional Development:

Stay updated on the latest GCSE curriculum changes and exam requirements. Engage in continuous professional development.

Qualifications and work experience:

  • Proven experience in teaching GCSE Science.
  • Strong knowledge of the GCSE Science curriculum and assessment criteria.

  • Experience with innovative teaching strategies that enhance student engagement in an online setting.
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and the ability to motivate students.

Offer:

This is a part-time role, paid by the hour at a competitive rate from £60 (depending on the candidate’s experience). A pay review will be conducted on an annual basis, ensuring fair progression aligned with experience and performance.

Flexible scheduling is available, with the opportunity to take on more students over time.
