One to One Tutor

Prospero Teaching are currently recruiting for 1:1 Tutors to support students in the Essex area supporting students who are currently out of mainstream education

We are looking for inspirational tutors around Essex to support children and young people with SEND. Many children with SEND have been disengaged with their learning.
