The student is a 15 year old boy, and is being homeschooled for one year until his GCSEs in May/June 2011. He is an ambitious and capable student. The boy has received little formal I/GCSE-focussed Spanish preparation to date, so will require both suitable reinforcement of foundation and background, as well as guidance and preparation focussed on the specific assessment areas of the I/GCSE Specification.

Whether or not the student sits the GCSE or IGCSE will be determined in due course. Accordingly, the successful candidate will have an excellent track record at teaching either GCSE or IGCSE Spanish to a level of excellence that could hold in either exam scenario.

The Spanish Tutor will be responsible for working cooperatively with the boy’s main Tutors, and will need to make the main Tutors aware of required resources.

The Spanish Tutor will be expected to bring an attitude of teamwork and cooperation to this position with respect to the main and any additional Tutors. This is especially so with regards to shared teaching space and scheduling. The Spanish Tutor will need to remain in constant communication with the main Tutors.

There will be 2 hours tutoring per subject week, weekdays between 9am-6pm, throughout the 2010-11 academic year. These hours will be subject to review on a half-termly basis.

The Tutor will be reimbursed for public transport in London for every day they work. (The job is just north of Clapham Old Town SW4; about an 8-minute walk from Clapham Common tube station.)

No accommodation is available.
