about full-time private tutors
Full-time tuition provides a complete academic programme for students who require regular, dedicated teaching outside a standard school timetable. This may support school admissions, public examinations, curriculum transitions or a period of focused academic development. A full-time tutor can provide subject teaching, study planning, assessment preparation and wider academic mentoring, with each programme shaped around the student's ability, goals and routine. We place carefully selected full-time tutors with families in the UK and internationally, ensuring each arrangement is clear, consistent and carefully managed.
Why pick us?
Our process
Precision, planning, and proven results
We design bespoke tuition programmes following a confidential consultation, carefully matching each student with the right tutor and monitoring progress with discreet, ongoing oversight.
Step 1
Initial Consultation
A confidential discussion to understand the student's academic profile, current schooling, family routine and the level of full-time tuition required.
Step 2
Academic Planning
A structured programme is developed around the student's subjects, timetable, goals, assessment needs and any school admissions or examination priorities.
Step 3
Tutor Selection
Careful identification of suitable tutors from our network, based on academic expertise, teaching experience, programme delivery and fit with the student.
Step 4
Introduction and Selection
Selected tutors are introduced, with guidance provided to help the family assess suitability and confirm the right academic match.
Step 5
Programme Setup
The chosen tutor begins working with the student, with a clear timetable, learning objectives and approach to feedback agreed from the outset.
Step 6
Ongoing Support and Oversight
Continued support is provided to ensure the programme remains effective, with adjustments made as the student's academic needs, progress or goals evolve.
