Case Studies: Full Time, Exam Preparation

As well as conducting customised recruitment processes for each Client enquiry, our ability to innovate in the tutoring market has set us apart from other high-end tutoring companies. Tutors International supplies elite tutors onboard yachts and superyachts. We’ve recruited micro-school coordinators in the Puerto-Rican mountains, specialist SEN tutors, and academic-vocational hybrid tutors.

This highly specialist service, tailored approach, and exclusive client base earned Tutors International the epithet, ‘the Dom Perignon of tutoring companies’ (The Good Schools Guide). TI Tutors and Clients alike have shared why we are deserving of this title.

Here you can read through some case studies of exemplary private tuition that we have assigned all over the world:

Background
This young man was half way through his A levels in History, Spanish and Human Biology at a prestigious English boarding school. He had been offered a place on an intensive polo training course in Argentina.

Circumstances

This family were in the middle of a move from their home in France to the US, and their son needed to be supported in his entrance applications for the new school and with the transition from one system to the other.
Outcome
The Tutor ensured that the boy was able to do well in the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) and therefore be accepted to his first choice of school.

London

Full Time
Students
Boy (15)
Circumstances
Instead of School, Unhappy at School, Exam Preparation
Background
This young man had been removed from his excellent private school due to concerns about the quality of pastoral care at the school. Half way through his GCSE course he was unable to find another suitable school and so his father opted to homeschool him for the final year of GCSEs.
Outcome
Under the guidance of excellent Tutors the boy is planning on taking 14 GCSEs. He is ambitious and highly motivated, keen to make this year something in which he can look back on with immense pride in his achievements.

London

Delivery
Full Time
Students
Girl (18), Girl (13), Boy (15)
Circumstances
Instead of School, Special Needs, Academic Concerns, Exam Preparation
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 University. 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 college 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 she was accepted to her first choice University. The younger brother and the sister also thrived with the Tutor's support.
