11+ Tutor (KS2)

We are Mentor Education, a top London tuition agency that specialises in providing children with individualised teaching from experienced educators, inspiring them to unlock their potential. We take tutoring seriously and are dedicated to delivering a professional and personalised experience for all our tutors, parents, and students. We have had many accolades, including being featured as London’s top tuition agency by School Report and we also come highly commended in the Good Schools Guide.

Our business is growing, and we are now looking to onboard a cohort of new School Entrance tutors. We are looking for experienced educators to work for us on a freelance basis, providing face-to-face and online tuition to children hoping to get in schools such as Westminster, St Pauls, KCS, Dulwich, JAGS, Alleyn's, Highgate, NLCS and the various GDST schools. Generally the parents we work with have their children in full time education, often at private schools, and they are looking for additional support in the evenings and at weekends. We are fully committed to Safer Recruitment and Safeguarding in everything we do.

Work can be online or in person depending on the clients wishes and is typically in the evening or at weekend or during the day in the holidays. For in person work most of our work tends to be in London from parents in areas such and West London, Clapham, Wimbledon, Dulwich, Blackheath and Hampstead and based out of their homes.

Our typical school entrance tutors qualified teacher status and a track record of helping children get into good independent schools. This experience can be from working in a prep school, working in a state school and supporting those children who go onto take 11+ test, or from private tutoring.

As well as working with private families we are also committed to our communities and our outreach programmes include tuition for Grenfell survivors and volunteering at local schools to help disadvantaged students recover from Covid learning loss. We set up the Afghan College for Girls which, as a charity, educates hundreds of Afghan girls under the noses of the Taliban.
