Summer School Tutor - Various Subjects

We are a small educational company established in 2003. We offer students a taste of their chosen subject at undergraduate level, enabling them to make a more informed choice about their university options, as well as to have fun getting really stuck into some challenging academic material together with equally enthusiastic peers.

We’re a little different to other tutoring companies, in that we don’t coach students to pass their school exams, and we don’t give university interview or other applications advice. Instead, we seek to appeal to students with a genuine intellectual curiosity and a desire to explore academic material in a more sophisticated way than is often available in schools.

At Debate Chamber we believe in a style of learning which is not constrained by the requirements of examinations, and which offers students the chance to engage with some great academic material for its own sake, rather than in an instrumental way. We encourage students to explore material more independently, pursuing their own interests and questions, rather than trying to second guess the desires of an examiner, interviewer or teacher.

We are looking for applicants to work with us on our 2025 Summer Schools in July and August.

We are currently looking to recruit tutors in the following areas: Economics, International Relations, English Literature, Law, Dentistry, Medicine, Mathematics and Physics.

Most of our Tutors are postgraduate students, and a minimum of an undergrad degree in a relevant subject is required for any teaching role.

At the moment we have a mix of online and in-person courses taking place in July and August - you can apply to teach on both, or just online / just in-person. The rate of pay is £190 per day (lesson plans and teaching materials are supplied). We run an eight-week summer programme, so depending in your subject there would be likely to be somewhere between two to eight weeks of work available.
