Graduate Maths Teaching Assistant

Graduate Maths Teaching Assistant – Islington

Are you a talented Maths graduate looking for a role where your academic ability will genuinely be put to use?

Could you help a GCSE student finally crack algebra, or challenge a high-achieving pupil aiming for a Grade 9?

Considering becoming a Maths teacher, but want substantial classroom experience before committing to teacher training?

KPI Education is recruiting an exceptional Graduate Maths Teaching Assistant to join a high-performing secondary school and sixth form in Islington, North London, for the 2026/27 academic year.

This is far more than a conventional classroom support role.

The school wants a mathematically strong graduate who can become an academic role model, support pupils who lack confidence and stretch some of the school's most able mathematicians.

If teaching is potentially in your future, this is an opportunity to spend a full academic year finding out just how good you could be.

Why This Maths Graduate Role?

• £26,000–£30,000 salary / minimum £550 per week
• Full-time position throughout the 2026/27 academic year
• Work predominantly within an established Mathematics department
• Support KS3, GCSE and A-Level Mathematics
• Deliver targeted 1:1 and small-group interventions
• Help GCSE pupils push towards Grades 7, 8 and 9
• Support ambitious sixth-form mathematicians
• Work alongside experienced Maths teachers and subject leaders
• Gain exposure to planning, assessment and curriculum delivery
• Develop your classroom presence and communication skills
• Support revision programmes, enrichment and Maths competitions
• Potential progression into teacher training from September 2027

Put Your Maths Degree to Work

Your role will be varied and academically focused.

One lesson could see you helping Year 10 pupils understand simultaneous equations; the next, you might be delivering a GCSE intervention to students approaching their final examinations.

You could work individually with a pupil whose confidence in Maths has disappeared before later challenging high-achieving students with advanced problem-solving.

As your confidence grows, there may also be opportunities to plan and deliver sections of lessons under teacher supervision.

The aim is simple: by the end of the year, you should understand far more about teaching Mathematics than you ever could from simply observing a classroom.

An Academically Ambitious Islington School

Based in Islington, the school combines high expectations with a commitment to creating opportunities for pupils from a wide range of backgrounds.

Mathematics plays an important role within the curriculum, with pupils encouraged to develop not only examination technique but also their logical reasoning, analytical thinking and problem-solving ability.

You'll join an experienced department that is keen to develop talented graduates who may become the next generation of Maths teachers.

Could That Be You?

A First-Class or 2:1 degree in Mathematics, or a closely related numerical discipline, is highly desirable.

Previous school experience isn't essential.

What matters is that you're academically strong, confident, reliable and able to explain difficult concepts clearly. You'll need genuine enthusiasm for Mathematics and the ability to communicate that enthusiasm to young people.

For an aspiring Maths teacher, this could be the ideal bridge between university and teacher training.
