Academics Tutoring and EOTAS
Join Academics as a SEND/EOTAS Tutor
Academics is proud to be a trusted partner to a number of local authorities, delivering high-quality SEND and EOTAS (Education Other Than At School) provision to Children and Young People (CYP) across the UK.
We are expanding our network of experienced SEND Tutors to provide personalised, 1:1 home-based tuition for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those accessing EOTAS packages or who are not currently in school for a variety of reasons.
Our tutors play a vital role in supporting young people who require alternative or additional provision as part of their EHCP, EOTAS package, medical needs provision, or care plan.
If you are a qualified teacher or an experienced SEND professional looking for flexible, meaningful work, we would love to hear from you.
The role of a Tutor
As a Tutor with Academics, you will deliver structured 1:1 tuition, typically within a young person’s home or agreed community setting. Many of the learners we support are currently out of mainstream education due to anxiety, EBSA, medical needs, SEMH challenges, exclusion, or complex profiles.
You will work closely with families and, where appropriate, multi-agency professionals to ensure tailored, impactful support that promotes both academic progress and personal development.
Our SEND Tutors typically:
- Deliver between 10–20 hours of tuition per week
- Plan and adapt individualised learning programmes
- Support pupils with EHCPs, EOTAS packages, and complex additional needs
- Deliver academic tuition (English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills, GCSE support, Primary curriculum)
- Provide life skills and independence-based learning (communication skills, emotional regulation, organisation, confidence building, preparation for adulthood)
- Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils and parents
- Support re-engagement with education where appropriate
- Monitor progress and provide reports in line with local authority requirements
Each placement is carefully matched to ensure the right tutor supports the right learner.
