Meet our Tutors

All our tutors are passionate about teaching, and all are experts in their fields. Each has succeeded in a rigorous selection process, in which they have proven their ability to teach one-on-one. Many are teachers; others are in teacher training or, exceptionally, completing their first or second degree with an excellent track record in tuition.

All have a proven ability to communicate ideas with clarity and to develop a rapport with their students, crucial to sustaining the commitment of students to the tuition programme. As one parent told us, "my daughter's tutor has the great ability to reach a balance between friendliness and tutoring executed with professionalism."

Our tutors are not just teachers: they are friends too, who can remember the experience of taking school exams. Here are a few of our many tutors.
