At Bespoke Tuition, we believe that the key ingredient to successful tutoring is a well-matched, engaging tutor. Students who respect and relate to their tutors will naturally want to do well and impress. Time is taken to ensure a good fit and families are sent a shortlist of suitable candidates to review before they make their choice.
“Having been a full time tutor, education consultant and parent to two adventurous children, I recruit educators whom I would want influencing my own children. I seek out life and learning enthusiasts with proven intellectual insight but also a spirit of creativity with the ability to make imaginative connections, and personalise learning for their students. Whilst the vast majority of our team attended Oxford, Cambridge, Ivy League and Russell Group Universities, a stellar academic background only gets a tutor so far. It is their communication skills, adaptability and captivating personality that catapults them into supertutor status. The best tutors in my mind, particularly in the case of Travel Tutors, are those who can produce a stimulating lesson using their immediate surroundings with little to no resources, and explain a concept in multiple ways. Where possible, we encourage lessons to be active, practical and relatable so that the learning process is enjoyable and long-lasting. We look for innovative, self-starters who can bring learning to life and appeal to a student’s personal interests to keep them motivated and engaged. Across all our service areas, our mission is to deliver an authentic, meaningful education that delivers long term impact. I want parents to report back saying their son or daughter has become a ‘learning enthusiast’. ~ Emma, Founder of Bespoke Tuition.
The exclusive team of hand-picked tutors chosen to represent Bespoke Tuition passionately believe in the enjoyment of learning and in providing balanced, enriching tuition. Alongside achievement in exams, our end goal is to equip students with the academic confidence and study skills required for a lifetime of effective learning. Rather than create a dependence on a tutor, our approach is centred on arming students with the unique tools they need to flourish independently without the need for external support. We work in collaboration with each family to create a tailored tuition programme with challenging yet achievable targets in line with short and long term objectives. Beyond that, we intentionally recruit tutors with a range of different styles and methodologies to cater for different client preferences. Each assignment requires a different medley of skill-building, so in our recruitment, we look for the “extra”.
With a 500+ tutor database, the core team consists of around 50 handpicked tutors who are carefully matched to suit a student’s unique objectives, learning style, personality & interests. We select inspiring tutors and mentors who can stimulate interest in a subject and motivate young people to achieve more than they think possible. Our students learn from our non-judgemental, energetic and personable tutors that it is ok to fail and that resilience is the key to bouncing back. We aim to exceed parent’s expectations, schoolteacher’s expectations but most importantly, students’ own expectations of themselves.

Our Tutors aim to challenge pupils and expect 100% effort, whilst engaging with them in a supportive, positive and motivating way that minimises mental pressures. We believe that interest is everything; talent is secondary and will naturally follow if children are inspired by a stimulating educator whom they admire, so we place great emphasis on finding the ‘right fit’ of Tutor. Our Tutors are anti-perfection and pro-excellence, carefully monitoring their own input so as to know when to take a step back and allow children to flourish independently. Skill-building is incorporated into every tutorial to ensure children walk away with individualised strategies and tools to support a lifetime of effective learning. Whilst we are happy to support children for several years, we are careful to avoid fostering a dependence on a Tutor, nurturing a sense of independent responsibility in each student. All tutors have been exclusively hand-picked with engaging and fun communication styles. This is truly tailored tutoring supporting all ages. Students walk away brimming with confidence and a personalised learning toolkit alongside better grades.
What to Expect
When a client makes an enquiry, we send one or more well-matched tutor profiles for a family to review. Each profile contains detailed information on the tutor including a photo, education, subjects/levels/skills taught, case studies of previous assignments, testimonials from other parents who have hired the tutor, personal interests and a private message written by the tutor.
