Job Title: Maths Tutor
Salary: Actual Salary: Grade D
Hours: Full time or Part time (Term time)
Thank you for your interest in joining our school. At Marine Academy Plymouth, we are driven by a clear and ambitious belief: every student deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential and leave us ready to succeed in higher education, apprenticeships or the career of their choice. We combine high academic expectations with exceptional pastoral care, creating a school where students feel safe, supported and inspired to achieve.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Maths Tutor to join our team, with full-time and part-time hours available. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about mathematics and enjoys helping young people build their confidence, understanding and enjoyment of the subject.
The role could be particularly well suited to someone looking to take their first steps into teaching, an experienced private tutor, a recent mathematics graduate, or an experienced teacher looking for a flexible role or a move towards semi-retirement. Qualified Teacher Status is not essential, and we are interested in hearing from people from a range of backgrounds who have strong mathematical knowledge and the ability to build positive relationships with young people.
Working closely with our Maths department, the majority of the role will be to provide 1:1 and small-group tuition to students preparing for their maths GCSE. You may also be required to support students within maths lessons and help students with their maths homework. You will monitor students' understanding and progress, provide feedback and adapt your support to help individuals overcome gaps in their knowledge and achieve their potential. The role may also include preparing resources and supporting with examinations and wider school activities.
This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference to students' outcomes while enjoying the support of an experienced and ambitious school team. Whether you are considering teaching as a future career, want to put your maths degree to practical use, already have experience of tuition, or are an experienced teacher looking for greater flexibility, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Student behaviour at Marine Academy Plymouth is exemplary. We believe every child has the right to learn in a disruption-free environment, and our clear and consistent behaviour systems mean staff can focus on what matters most: helping students learn and succeed. Students are exceptionally polite, greet adults confidently and demonstrate genuine kindness and courtesy towards one another.
We prioritise staff wellbeing, offering work-life balance, professional development and collaboration through the Ted Wragg Trust. We are proud to have been nationally recognised for our commitment to staff wellbeing and workload reduction. Benefits of working at MAP include scheduled 'Golden Time' where staff can work from home, a centralised behaviour system, excellent CPD, and support as part of the Ted Wragg Trust.
