Our main tuition service is the delivery of carefully tailored tuition delivered by the hour, or day, in person at family homes (London and Hong Kong) or online (worldwide). All tuition is one to one (though small groups can be accommodated on demand) and highly customised. Many of the tutors who are selected to join the exclusive team at Bespoke Tuition have been specifically headhunted for their outstanding expertise. The majority are ‘Career Tutors’, as opposed to part time educators, or professional teachers with PGCE qualification. All are vetted via our meticulous recruitment process. We are well known for the care we take in matching tutors to students based on subject, level and interest areas. Successful tuition occurs when a student admires and relates to their tutor so we purposefully recruit a range of bright, engaging and charismatic communicators with high emotional intelligence and wide-ranging talents and hobbies. When a family requests a tutor, we conduct a personalised search and then send proposals via email for the family’s review, detailing applicants that match the academic level, objectives and interests of the student. A trial then takes place, either in person or online as appropriate, to ensure a good fit. This is truly bespoke academic tuition.

Whether it is a necessity or a preference, many of the best tuition outcomes we have seen, have involved a combination of in-person tuition supplemented with online. Many of our clients have then chosen to proceed with online sessions exclusively thereafter for the academic continuity, stability and flexibility it provides. A significant portion of our most experienced tutors now exclusively specialise in delivering online tuition, working across multiple timezones to deliver highly effective virtual tutorials. This provides students access to a wide range of professional tutors, anytime, anywhere (with an internet connection). Students can select the platform with which they are most familiar (skype, zoom, bramble etc.) and our virtual tutors can also provide access to interactive whiteboards and the most technologically advanced screen-sharing software. Tutors are still personally matched to each tutee and students benefit from the sense of agency and control of having their own personal and easily accessible tutor.

Our Residential Tutors who live in with a family, or in nearby lodging, can be hired at any time of year, for any period of time. Fast-track or long term, the intensive nature of daily tuition can really help students take major strides ahead in their learning. Some families like to use this service at home, wherever that may be in the world, whilst others choose to make use of the travel possibility as it enables students to balance time out with study over half term, Christmas, Easter, New Year or the long Summer holidays. Having a live-in tutor can either be a full time homeschooling solution or a supplement to school, with students benefiting from an on-site academic mentor to guide them through a challenging period. Whilst we would encourage sticking to a routine to clearly define work and play, the tutoring schedule can be entirely flexible to suit the family. A popular pattern is 2-3 hours of tutoring in the morning, followed by 1-2 hours in the afternoon, with plenty of fun activities in between as suits the family. Some families choose to involve their tutors in extracurriculars, particularly if on a holiday at a ski resort or other remote location, whilst others opt for private family time. A weekly rate is charged for this service affording an average of 25-30 hours tutoring per week, plus the tutor’s flights, visa, insurance and full board. The luxury of having an on-site tutor also allows for extended learning beyond the curriculum, building key study and life skills as well as confidence. This is highly tailored tutoring that results in students walking away with a personalised learning toolkit alongside better grades and an inspired mind.

An increasingly popular option worldwide, many families are actively opting to  remove their child from mainstream schooling in favour of tutoring them at home on a full time or flexi-schooling basis. Bespoke Tuition has supported families in this process from start to finish since 2010. Following an in-depth consultation, ideally in-person, our professional consultants will tailor a bespoke academic programme to suit the objectives, personality, interests and motivations of the family. Our experienced home-schooling educators are mostly ex-schoolteachers who can confidently take full control of a student’s academic studies and devise a customised and structured curriculum that will meet a family’s short and long-term objectives. Whether the schooling will take place at home, abroad or ‘at sea’, we can send single or multiple inspiring educators to your door/port! We can also help students to register and prepare for external exams where relevant and our tutors can collaborate with relevant schools to ensure the home-schooling complements any curriculum and teaching methods that may be applicable to the student.

Our European Language Homestays offer students an immersive learning adventure in a home from home environment. Staying with one of our host families or tutors, an intensive language boost awaits with a mix of classic desk-based study alongside educational field trips and the joys of learning outside of the classroom. As with all of Bespoke’s programmes, homestays are one to one and can be tailored to all school ages. Bespoke currently has Tutor Homestays available in the UK, Spain, France, Italy and Germany from major cities such as London and Rome to more rural regions such as Valencia. Tutor homestays can be customised to last a long weekend or 1-4 weeks. We carefully select professional, patient and fully vetted Tutors/Mentors who can create a ‘home away from home’ environment for students. A parent or guardian may accompany the student if desired. All that is required is a sense of adventure!

All of Bespoke Tuition’s skill-building courses and clubs can be hosted ‘on-demand’ throughout the year during termtime as well as holiday periods. Students can opt for a one-off session, a weekly series or a 2-5 day intensive. Available both online (worldwide) and in-person (London & Hong Kong only), every course is customisable to primary & secondary age groups and is tailored to suit the objectives, interests and abilities of the student/s. Ranging from Creative Writing and UK Entrance Preparation to Critical Thinking, Executive Function and Revision Skills, these Courses are run by highly experienced specialist tutors. Fun, engaging and practical, our bespoke range of programmes will help students to build new skills, confidence and independence of thought. Students can opt for a personalised ‘one to one’ course or create a group; many students like to gather together a group of friends. Be sure to sign up to our email alerts to be notified of future group course dates.
