This role is best suited to tutors who have experience supporting children through 11+ entrance exam preparation for independent and/or grammar schools, who understand how to pace learning carefully across the exam cycle while maintaining a warm, engaging and compassionate approach.

Experience supporting students towards offers from selective schools
Ability to explain concepts clearly and engagingly
Calm, patient and encouraging teaching style
Ability to stretch students without creating unnecessary pressure
Clear, professional communication with clients
Reliability and ability to commit to regular weekly tutoring
Enhanced DBS certificate, or willingness to obtain one before working with families
Additional experience that will strengthen your application:
Strong track record with highly selective schools
Knowledge of the North/East London 11+ landscape
Verbal reasoning and/or non-verbal reasoning experience
Interview preparation experience
Access to high-quality resources, past papers or structured lesson materials

About Ripple Learning
Ripple Learning is a small, local tutoring agency based in East London. Over the past five years, we have grown largely through word of mouth by working with lovely local families and thoughtful, engaging tutors.
Ripple also donates 10% of revenue to UK educational charities working towards education equality, so every session taught through Ripple has a positive social impact beyond the individual lesson.
Why tutor with Ripple?
We work closely with a focused team, match tutors carefully with local families, and support tutors to do their best teaching.
Ripple speaks carefully with families before matching, helps manage expectations, and offers additional advisory support where needed. This helps protect the tutoring hour, so tutors can focus on planning strong lessons, teaching well, giving clear progress updates and helping students grow in confidence.
Because 11+ enquiries make up a large part of Ripple’s work, successful specialist tutors are likely to be considered quickly for suitable students and, where appropriate, future group tuition opportunities at higher rates.
Pay: £40.00-£65.00 per hour
Application question(s):
Are you able to work as a freelancer in the UK?
Education:
Bachelor's (required)
Experience:
11+ tutoring: 1 year (required)
Licence/Certification:
Enhanced DBS (preferred)
Work Location: In person
