Complex SEN

Prospero Teaching is seeking experienced SEN Tutors to deliver 1:1 specialist educational support to children and young people from primary age through to post‑16 in Barking and Dagenham. Learners may be out of school, awaiting specialist placements, or require additional support to access education.
