The Job

The Tutor will take a full and active role in the tutoring of all student groups and will be

teaching a rich array of field courses in amazing environments that include the Flamborough
Heritage Coast and the North York Moors National Park.

The tutor will be joining a highly motivated and close-knit team of 6 full time tutors and 1 part time tutor and will receive a very warm and genuine welcome. Around 50% of our courses are A-level
Geography with the remaining split into around 30% A-level Biology and 20% KS2 Junior
