Case Studies

A Tutor was needed to provide a home education for a girl being home-schooled during Middle School to allow the family the freedom to travel.

The girl was accepted into her first choice of High School on her return and the family no longer have such itchy feet.

This family are homeschooling all the way to College because they believe that this is better education than traditional schooling. The position is now in its 4th year and the children are following a British curriculum.

For the first 3 years the two children shared a Tutor. Now, as their interests and strengths become more divergent the Client has opted to have 2 tutors to cover the subjects so that each can be more specialised.

What started as a short term summer appointment supporting this mildly dyslexic boy on vacation in Turkey, soon turned into a full home-schooling role when it became evident to all just how much happier the boy was in the care of a Tutor.

Now in its second year, there are plans to reintegrate to the boy back into a new school, and to keep the Tutor as after school support for the long term.

This French family had enrolled their children in the nearby British school and were unhappy about the missing components of classical French study. They sought a Tutor to fill this gap while they explored their options.

A school place opened at the family's preferred choice of French school and the boy transferred successfully.

The boys were cousins. One had been bullied at school and the other recently relocated to the area had never done well at school, so the parents sought a private tutor to home educate.

The Tutor quickly established that one of the children was dyslexic and was able to adjust the teaching to suit his learning style. After a year both boys re-entered mainstream schools and graduated normally.

This family was relocating to Ireland and this meant a period of home-schooling to bridge the change from one school to another.

The Tutor worked closely with the boys' new school to make sure that they would integrate smoothly and thrive there.

The family were taking 3 months out to go travelling in Europe and the Middle East. This meant taking the children out of school and continuing their education while on the road.

The children were able to maintain their studies and reintegrate into their respective schools seamlessly on their return.

This family were looking for a full time private tutor to help with a complex transition between schooling in Switzerland and England, and with extended interim periods of homeschooling in the US.

A Tutor familiar with IB was appointed to liaise with the new school and assure that the children were always at the appropriate level so that they would be able to reintegrate into their class at any time.

A bilingual German/English Tutor was needed. The family travel extensively and for long periods and were looking for a Tutor who would be able to offer an enriching educational experience that bridged the periods when the boy was away from his school.

Our Tutor was immensely successful at giving the family the freedom they needed while providing a superb educational experience for their son.

Tutors International was asked to arrange for exceptionally talented educators to work with this home-educated boy for short periods of intensive study in the Tutor's specialised area.

This is part of Tutors International's Special Projects offering. Talented individuals from all walks of life have offer superb short-course seminars to enrich a student's educational environment.
