Coming from a range of backgrounds, with each individual making a worthwhile contribution to the College’s work, the staff work closely together to provide a first-class service and look for ways to improve how NEC delivers education to its students.
Our Tutors work remotely, generally alongside other work or personal commitments on a self employed basis.
The National Extension College (NEC) is an educational charity based in Cambridge which is part of the Open School Trust. NEC has provided tutor-supported home study courses directly to learners for over 50 years, and also publishes learning resources for colleges and training providers.
NEC is seeking tutors in general education to work remotely supporting our students study. This role is ideal if you are wanting to gain additional income alongside your other commitments.
Having the right tutor makes a huge difference to a student’s experience. Time and again we hear from our students who tell us that their tutor gave them confidence to succeed, encouraged them to keep studying and helped them gain the qualification(s) they needed to go to university or to change career.
Tutoring online is different from classroom teaching. Although both require a high level of subject knowledge and the skills to guide and work with students, distance learning tutors focus more heavily on providing high quality feedback.
Many of our tutors are currently employed teachers and find that due to the flexibility of role, they are able to fit in being an NEC tutor alongside other commitments. The role would also suit retired teachers looking for a part-time role. All NEC tutors work remotely on a self employed basis.
At NEC we look for tutors who can demonstrate their enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject in their feedback and guidance to every student.
