London
Students
Girl (19)
Background
An undergraduate woman had decided to change her course at University and needed to demonstrate a high standard of Latin in order to be accepted on the new course. Having only studied to GCSE this was a serious challenge.
Outcome
Tutors International were able to secure the services of a well-qualified teacher who himself had graduated from Oxford with Classics. In an intensive summer course the young woman reached the required standard and was accepted onto her new course.
London
Students
Girl (19)
Background
This young woman was an undergraduate studying at London. Unhappy with her course, she had not engaged in the learning process and was at risk of failing her first year.
Outcome
Tutors International found a well qualified Tutor able to support the full range of subjects on the student's undergraduate course and work intensively with her to ensure that she completed her coursework and was fully prepared for her exams.
London
Students
Boy (9), Girl (9)
Background
This family had decided to relocate to London for a year, with periods of travel and exploration. The youngest children, one of whom is dyslexic, were taken out of school during the period and home-schooled by one of our Tutors.
Outcome
The Tutor needed to work in concert with the children's schools to ensure that they would reintegrate smoothly upon their return. The one-on-one help with the dyslexic boy improved his reading, writing and self-confidence immeasurably.
London
Students
Girl (18), Girl (13), Boy (15)
Background
The eldest girl had failed to gain the grades she needed in her AS levels and was therefore at risk of not achieving the overall grades she needed for her first choice Univsersity. Her brother was preparing for GCSEs at the same time, and the younger girl had some mild dyslexia that merited occasional support.
Outcome
By far the greatest emphasis of the Tutor's work was with the eldest girl, who was to be homeschooled instead of attending a private sixth form colleage in London. By the end of the first term, the courses taken so far had been reviewed and the girl scored 3 As in her modules. At the end of the year the girl's final grades were AAB and her was accepted to her first choice University. The younger brother and the sister also thrived with the Tutor's support.
London
Students
Adult
Background
The student is an adult woman who relocated from Italy to England. In Italy she worked as a fashion journalist and she decided to return to work, this time in England, writing in English. Unfortunately her level of fluency was nowhere near what was required to be successful and it was hoped that some intensive tuition from a superb Tutor would be able to develop her understanding of grammar, develop a more extensive vocabulary, and help her with creative writing.
Outcome
A native English speaking Tutor with Received Pronunciation was found. They had impeccable grammar, both written and spoken, an English degree from a top flight University, an EFL qualification and appropriate experience with adult learners.
Los Angeles
Students
Boy (6), Girl (4)
Background
This was a short term position. The Tutor's role was to maintain the children's education relative to their peers while temporarily in Los Angeles. The boy had exceptional memory skills and this was masking a difficulty with reading and learning.
Outcome
Working with the tutor exposed the hidden learning deficits and largely resolved them. The boy was accepted to an excellent school in his home city of New York and is thriving.
Los Angeles

Marbella
Students

Meribel
Students
Boy (15), Boy (9), Girl (13), Girl (6)
Background
This was a complex position that began when the eldest boy was 10 and had a complex learning difference that affected his cognitive reasoning. Although the initial role was to help the older boy, the role evolved into supporting all the children.
Outcome
An experienced educator, someone familiar with educational theory and willing to encourage non-traditional pathways was needed. The boy was able to catch up with his peers and his sisters are now thriving too.

Background
Unhappy with the falling standards in their preferred school, the Client sought a Tutor to help with homework after school and with developing activities to enhance the girls' learning outside the classroom.
