We find that the first time a child has a tutor there is sometimes resentment along the lines of "it will ruin my holidays". However, after the first assignment the child often asks the parents to arrange the same tutor for the next vacation. With the right tutor, learning is fun.

For maximum convenience, the tutoring takes place in the family home. In London, the tutor visits and spends a few hours a week with the child, arranged at the family's convenience. This works well with children who are at day school in London as the necessary relationship is built up over time.

Many families continue the weekly tutoring for part of the school holidays. This can be especially beneficial during the long summer vacation where, without the time pressures and exertion of the school day, tremendous progress can be made.

Outside London and abroad, this system is not practical as the chance of finding an appropriate tutor within a reasonable distance of the client is slim. Hence, some of our tutors live with the family during their assignments. The tutoring lasts between three and four hours a day, but the learning process continues for the rest of the day. A good relationship is built up between the tutor and the child as they engage in activities, which captivate the child's interest.

The majority of our tutors drive and we try to match their musical or sporting abilities to your child's interests. For Common Entrance it is often possible to provide a tutor who went to the public school that the child will attend.
