ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Prospero Teaching is looking for a passionate and qualified BSL (British Sign Language) Tutor to deliver bespoke education packages on a 1:1 basis to primary and secondary-aged pupils in Havering who are currently unable to attend school.

This Outreach Tutor role is ideal for a BSL specialist who is looking to step away from the traditional classroom setting and provide personalised, engaging lessons that support both academic progress and communication development.

  • Create, plan and deliver 1:1 BSL-focused lessons tailored to each pupil’s needs

  • Support pupils in developing both verbal and non-verbal communication skills
  • Reintroduce structure and routine into their daily learning
  • Use creative and adaptive teaching strategies to meet individual learning styles

    • Most pupils will have been out of education for some time, so your ability to build trust, foster motivation, and deliver meaningful learning experiences is key.
