Shakila Ferdous
Senior Consultant
Education recruitment specialist for
Mainstream & SEND TutorsEnhancing a student’s education by finding them a Tutor who will make a genuine difference is really important. I always ensure Tutors have the experience a student needs to help them thrive academically.
Before my career in recruitment, I was a fully qualified Teacher working in SEN schools. I honed my craft and developed a strong insight into the challenges that some students face within their education. This has been invaluable to my recruitment practice.
Jacob Leach
Managing Consultant
Education recruitment specialist for
Mainstream & SEND TutorsI’m very proud to lead our tuition division, supplying mainstream and SEND Tutors for schools and local authorities across the UK. It’s an honour to help students who aren’t in mainstream education.
Prior to my role in recruitment I worked as a primary school Teacher, working alongside Key Stage 1 students for four years. This experience truly opened my eyes to the skills needed for delivering positive educational outcomes.
Safah Mahmood
Lead Consultant
Education recruitment specialist for
Mainstream & SEND TutorsFor students outside of mainstream education, 1:1 and small-group tuition is vital. Working with schools and local authorities to match students with a great tutor can positively change the trajectory of a young person's education.
I developed a keen interest in education whilst studying politics at university and this has led me to a wonderful career in tuition recruitment. With a background in teaching vulnerable pupils, I understand the transformative impact that tailored educational support can have.

Before you can start work, you will need to register with us and provide all the relevant documentation. As soon as your file is clear with the DBS and we have verified ID and references, you could be working the next day.
