We’re seeking an experienced Guitar Tutor to deliver weekly 1:1 tuition to a young secondary student with Special Educational Needs.

  • Coordinate with parent/guardian and (where relevant) school contacts to align goals.

  • Track progress towards agreed milestones (e.g., grades, performance pieces).

  • Have proven experience supporting SEN learners (e.g., ASD/ADHD/SpLD), using calm, structured approaches.

  • Communicate clearly with young people and adults; set achievable, motivating targets.
