Description:
1:1 Home Tutor – Pre-Verbal Learners
Leicester | Flexible Hours | £30–£35 per hour
Are you an experienced SEN Tutor, Teacher or Teaching Assistant who is confident supporting pre-verbal or non-speaking young people?
TeacherActive is looking for patient, creative and adaptable tutors to provide 1:1 home tuition for secondary-aged pupils with complex communication and learning needs.
Although the learners are secondary age, they may be working well below age-related expectations, so the successful tutor will need to adapt learning to each pupil’s developmental level rather than simply following age-based curriculum expectations.
The role may include:
Delivering personalised 1:1 tuition in the learner’s home
Supporting pre-verbal or non-speaking pupils
Adapting activities to individual developmental levels
Using visual, sensory and practical learning approaches
Supporting communication through symbols, visuals or Makaton
Breaking learning into short, manageable activities
Building trust, routine and consistency
Supporting engagement, emotional regulation and confidence
Working closely with families and other professionals
We are looking for someone who:
Has experience supporting pupils with complex SEND
Is confident working with pre-verbal learners
Understands autism and significant communication needs
Can adapt learning for pupils working below age-related expectations
Is patient, calm and able to build relationships gradually
Has experience with sensory learning or communication systems
Can work independently while maintaining strong professional boundaries
Has experience in SEND schools, EOTAS, alternative provision or 1:1 tuition desirable
What TeacherActive can offer:
£30–£35 per hour
Flexible hours to suit your availability
Individually matched 1:1 placements
Weekly PAYE pay
Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant
Opportunities to make a meaningful difference to young people who need a highly personalised approach
If you have experience supporting pre-verbal secondary-aged pupils and enjoy creating learning around the individual, we would love to hear from you.
