Tuition
At A British Education, we offer a highly personalised, discreet and comprehensive range of educational services designed for families who expect the very highest standards. Every placement is tailored from the ground up. We take the time to understand the child, the family dynamic, the household’s rhythm and long-term aspirations before matching you with an educator of exceptional calibre.
Our tutors are not simply academics; they are mentors, role models and professional educators who bring clarity, confidence and structure to a child’s educational journey. Whether supporting day-to-day schoolwork or designing a completely bespoke curriculum, our approach is always thoughtful, meticulous and entirely centred on the child.
Residential Tutors
Our most sought-after service is the placement of full-time residential tutors. These educators live with the family, travelling as required and providing complete academic continuity wherever life takes you. Residential tutors work to a standard far beyond traditional tutoring: they plan and deliver a full academic programme, manage the child’s study routines, track progress and act as a steady, reassuring presence throughout the day.
Ideal for families with demanding international schedules, those residing between multiple homes or those who simply feel their child would benefit from a more immersive, attentive educational experience. A residential tutor ensures no lesson is missed, no skill is overlooked and no academic milestone is rushed or underprepared.
Live Out Tutors
For families based primarily in one location, particularly in London, the Home Counties and major European cities. We provide live-out educators who deliver high-level academic support while respecting the pace and expectations of a top independent or international school.
A live-out tutor typically works after school, evenings and weekends, offering consistency, academic stretch and structured preparation for the challenges of a competitive school environment. They help students manage homework load, refine exam technique, organise their study habits and strengthen weaker subjects while extending areas of natural strength.
This is particularly valuable for pupils in leading day schools, where expectations can be intense and the timetable fast-moving.
Early Years Specialists & Governesses
We place exceptional early years educators, including trained nursery teachers, governesses and early development specialists who create a gentle, structured, enrichment-focused environment for young children. These professionals support early literacy, numeracy, motor skills, communication, imagination and emotional development.
Our early years placements are thoughtful, warm and carefully matched. Whether you wish to give your child a strong start before entering a London prep school or you want a calm, creative influence in the home, we ensure that the educator becomes a steady, positive presence for the whole family.
SEN Expertise & Specialist Support
For children with specific learning differences or educational needs, we provide tutors with advanced training and recognised qualifications in SEN provision, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD, language processing disorders and more. These specialists tailor learning in ways that honour the child’s confidence and emotional wellbeing, ensuring academic progress without pressure or anxiety.
We work closely with families to build a support structure that may include one-to-one lessons, strategy coaching, integration with school SEN departments and collaboration with therapists where appropriate.
Global Travel Tutors
For families who travel extensively, whether seasonally or year-round, we supply tutors who can maintain complete academic continuity across multiple time zones, countries and cultural environments. These tutors are flexible, resilient and highly organised. They keep lessons structured regardless of location, designing learning experiences that link seamlessly with the family’s travel itinerary.
From teaching literature by the fire in the Alps, to using a rainforest environment to explore ecosystems, to delivering mathematics lessons aboard a yacht, travel tutors make education meaningful, relevant and unforgettable.
Holiday Support & Short-Term Placements
During school holidays, many children benefit from a period of focused academic attention, either consolidation or extension. We place tutors for shorter fixed-term periods who can help students revise, deepen subject knowledge, or prepare for the next stage in their academic year.
This is ideal for families seeking a refined, discreet solution that fits neatly around holiday plans, international travel or shifting schedules.
