Many of our courses run over a six week period, usually 1 or days a week. each session is approx 2 hours and we pay additional prep and planning that adds on the additional hours.
Tutors are responsible for adult learners age 19+ with the school being responsible for the child element of the session. Working days tend to be between Tuesday – Friday depending on the needs of the school. We are always looking for tutors who have experience and flexibility.We are currently planning for the new academic year beginning in Sept.
