Asend Limited
ASEND tuition supports SEND pupils and continues their learning while they cannot access school or don’t have a school place. We are looking for an SEN Tutor with Key Stage 3 experience to support an autistic pupil in Bushey to get him ready for his new school in September.
What ASEND Tuition Is
We are looking for inspirational tutors to support children and young people with SEND in Hertfordshire. We support pupils with SEND who are not attending school for a number of reasons including Mental Health issues, or lack of a suitable school place. We aim to prepare them for a return to mainstream or special school.
We tutor pupils of all ages face-to-face within school times, and in a range of settings including homes, schools, community centres and out in the community. Our tuition is completely pupil-focused and can target developing early learning, following an academic curriculum, providing emotional support or developing life skills. We need a wide range of tutors to support our pupils to meet their specific needs and ensure good progress. We work very hard to match each tutor with pupils who can most benefit from their skills and expertise.
About The Pupil
We have an incredible opportunity for a passionate and dedicated tutor to join us in transforming the educational journey of a remarkable 14-year-old boy who will be moving into a new school in September. We aim to equip him with the necessary skills and confidence to thrive in his new educational setting. He is Autistic but despite facing adversity, he has shown incredible resilience and determination to overcome the challenges he has faced.
The pupil is an extraordinary individual with a passion for music, particularly the piano. He taught himself how to play by watching YouTube videos, showcasing his brilliant determination and keenness to learn. Additionally, he has a deep interest in technology, D&T, computing, and aspires to become a pilot. Your role as his tutor will involve fostering his love for these subjects and encouraging his pursuit of aviation.
We are seeking a tutor who can provide personalised support tailored to his unique needs and interests. A tutor who understands and is aware of ASD/PDA is vital to ensure his academic progress aligns with his potential.
Your role as his tutor will encompass a range of responsibilities. You will help him with social communication, emotional regulation, and enabling him to develop the essential skills for successful integration. Through personalised lesson plans, you will tailor the curriculum to match his interests, keeping him engaged, motivated, and excited about learning. The ability to build a nurturing and supportive relationship is essential to guide him on this transformative journey. Your influence will extend beyond the academic realm, allowing him to develop his self-esteem and thrive as a confident young man.
