Travelling Tutors

Enrich your children’s journey with a friend and mentor that inspires a love of learning and curiosity about the world.

At Tutors International, we believe that the best education won’t be found in the classroom. Imagine your children receiving an exceptional education while exploring the wonders of the world!

Our private tutors are experts at providing seamless, high-quality tutoring services that travel with your family, turning every journey into an educational adventure.

Why Travel with a Private Tutor?

Learning beyond borders

Travel offers endless opportunities for learning, and our tutors know how to make the most of every moment. From exploring ancient ruins in Rome to studying marine biology while snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, our tutors integrate real-world experiences with academic excellence, creating a rich and immersive learning environment.

Customised learning adventures

Each child is unique, and so is our approach. Our tutors design custom curriculums that align with your travel itinerary and your child's interests, while ensuring they keep up with what their peers at school are doing. This personalised attention ensures that learning is both fun and effective, fostering a love for knowledge that goes beyond textbooks.

Seamless integration with your travel plans

Forget about rigid school schedules! Our tutors offer flexible learning plans that adapt to your travel schedule, ensuring that your child’s education continues uninterrupted. Whether you’re exploring new cities or relaxing on the beach, learning is always in session.

Benefits of Travelling with a Tutor

  • Global classroom: Turn every destination into a classroom. Learn history in the streets of Paris, geography in the mountains of Peru, and art in the museums of New York.
  • Enhanced cultural awareness: Our tutors incorporate local culture into their lessons, helping your child develop a deep appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures and traditions.
  • Personal growth and confidence: Travelling and learning on the go fosters resilience, adaptability, and confidence in children, equipping them with skills that last a lifetime.
  • Family bonding: Share the joy of learning together. Our tutors can engage the whole family in educational activities, making your travels more enriching and memorable.

Expertise and Excellence

Tutors handpicked to suit your lifestyle

Our rigorous selection process ensures that only the best tutors join your journey. We consider your child's academic needs, personal interests, and your family's lifestyle to find the perfect match.

Holistic support from an educator and mentor

Our tutors are not just educators; they are mentors and companions who enhance every aspect of your travels. We focus on the overall development of your child, including social skills, emotional well-being, and physical activities. Our tutors are dedicated to providing a balanced and holistic educational experience that nurtures your child’s growth in every possible way.

Joanna Dunckley-Phillips, who has tutored with us for many years and has a veritable atlas of placements under her belt, spoke at the Prestel & Partner Family Office Forum last year about the exciting benefits of travelling or relocating with a private tutor.

Testimonials

Families around the world have experienced the transformative impact of travelling with a Tutors International tutor.

We are thrilled with [the Tutors]. They arrived at the boat fully packed and prepped, with three different year levels organized. Amazing the diversity of stuff they brought - ready to cover all bases. They are very bright and great with the girls and good company for us.

It was an incredible experience we had and I'm still getting used to the fact of being back in our old routine. My kids learned a lot travelling with the tutor. Their school work improved also. I'm sure the effects will continue to show as time passes.

Adam's help was invaluable in finding a teacher for our boys. We really appreciated the care he took in getting to know us and our particular requirements before beginning his rigorous interview procedure. Adam was always there for our queries or requests and would not rest until we were fully satisfied with our choice of teacher. On three different occasions he has found us enterprising and highly qualified teachers. I would recommend Tutors International to anyone looking for a pritwittvate tutor.
