As an outreach Tutor for Chalkline, you would be considered an agency worker. There is no need to register as self-employed, but if you prefer it that way, we can still work with you.
Hours & Pay:
As an agency worker, you would be paid for each hour of tutoring delivered, and assignments (along with the number of hours required each week) would be discussed and agreed before sessions begin. The aim is for Tutors to take assignments within a reasonable distance of home, and anyone traveling further would receive a higher rate of pay to offset some of the additional travel expense.
Tutoring Delivery:
Most of the pupils we work with need support with Maths and English, in a way that is adaptable to their needs, engaging and fun! As a Tutor, you will decide what will be covered in each session and be flexible in your approach, to find a way that works for your pupil(s).
** Sessions are in-person and on a 1:1 basis **
Time & Location:
Our sessions fall in line with most schools, so they take place during term time, and would typically take place no earlier than 08:30, and no later than 16:30. The location of your session delivery would be dependent on each individual assignment/pupil. Sessions may take place at a school, in a pupil’s home (or residential care home), or at an agreed public venue like a Library or family centre.
Pupils:
We work with a range of pupils with varying needs. Most pupils we work with are 11-16 years old, and are either children in care, children with special educational needs, or just in need of additional support.
Resources:
You will have access to a bank of internal resources & printables, as well as access to material from resource/learning platforms like Twinkl and BKSB. If you do ever need to deliver sessions online, you will also be supported with MS Teams or Bramble, however, most tutoring will be face to face.
Reporting:
You will need to complete a timesheet and detailed reports by Friday every week for each pupil you work with. Key documents are shared via google drive on your own individual Chalkline Email address.
