Key Responsibilities:

  • Targeted Small-Group Delivery: Deliver focused intervention sessions to small groups (typically 2-4 students) and 1:1 catch-up blocks.

  • Core Subject Focus: Reinforce foundational concepts in English, Maths, or Science, addressing specific misconceptions and learning gaps.
