1 Share of the tutor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the special educational needs itinerant teacher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A tutor role treats 11 of its required skills as things a special educational needs itinerant teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes
  • assist students in their learning
  • consult student's support system

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a special educational needs itinerant teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide teacher support communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held show consideration for student's situation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held consult student's support system communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held secondary school procedures business, administration and law
  • already held liaise with educational staff communication, collaboration and creativity

All 19 carried skills, including the 11 the tutor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
