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.
