Case Studies: Full Time, Special Needs

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
The elder boy had been diagnosed with ADD and had been bullied. His self-esteem was low and he lacked confidence. Both boys enjoyed being outdoors and exploring the world around them.

Circumstances
Instead of School, Special Needs, Travel, Unhappy at School
Background
What started as a short term summer appointment supporting this mildly dyslexic boy on vacation in Turkey, soon turned into a full homeschooling role when it became evident to all just how much happier the boy was in the care of a Tutor.
Outcome
Now in its second year, there are plans to reintegrate the boy back into a new school, and to keep the Tutor as after school support for the long term.

Costa Mesa

Delivery

Students
Boy (14), Boy (15)
Circumstances
Instead of School, Unhappy at School, Special Needs
Background
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.
Outcome
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.

Circumstances
Instead of School, Travel, Special Needs, Unhappy at School

London

Delivery
Full Time
Students
Boy (9), Girl (9)
Circumstances
Instead of School, Travel, Special Needs, Relocation or New School
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 homeschooled 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

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.
