about international homeschooling
International homeschooling provides a structured British education for families based outside the UK, delivered through highly personalised, in-home tuition. For families preparing for relocation or planning entry into UK boarding schools, it offers a clear and effective academic pathway. We place experienced UK tutors with families internationally, typically in residential (live-in) roles or in nearby accommodation. Each programme is designed to align with the UK curriculum, ensuring students are academically prepared and able to transition confidently into the UK education system.
Why pick us?
International homeschooling programmes are tailored to each student’s academic level, background and long-term goals. Most follow the UK curriculum, providing continuity and progression towards key milestones such as entrance exams, GCSEs or A Levels.
A core focus is ensuring alignment with UK academic expectations, particularly for students coming from different education systems. This includes developing subject knowledge, exam technique and familiarity with the style of learning required in UK schools.
We have extensive experience supporting families globally, delivering consistent, high-quality education across a range of international settings.

A first class service from Think Tutors. We were provided with a very skillful and experienced tutor who provided a well thought out and bespoke service. All the communication around the sessions, monthly reports etc. was excellent too, as well as the very useful general advice. All in all I would certainly recommend and use again in future.
