Tutors International Encourages Families Considering Private Tuition for 2023 to Act Now
Mr Caller sheds some light on one of the reasons for the upsurge in enquiries:
Published last month, the COVID Social Mobility and Opportunities (COSMO) study is the largest of its kind into the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the life chances of a generation of young people. Its results revealed that four out of five state school students felt academically disadvantaged as a result of the pandemic.
The report also disclosed that a large majority of students were not able to access the subsidised tutoring made available to schools by the government's national tutoring programme (NTP), while almost 50% reported that, since resuming full-time education, the educational deficit caused by the pandemic had not been addressed.
To make things worse, inflation and the current energy crisis has meant that schools are experiencing massive hikes in electricity bills and consequently, there is less money to spend on teacher salary increases or, on much needed school repairs. SchoolsWeek last week reported that in order to meet rising costs schools will have no choice but to make dramatic cuts. A reduction in staff and increases to class sizes are likely options although 50% of schools in England are considering plans to reduce their curriculum options, with music, drama and design and technology most likely to be scrapped.
Mr Caller believes that the lasting effects of Covid, coupled with the financial crisis, will have a negative impact on young people's education for years to come:

Mr Caller continues
Tutors International is unique in that it both recruits and employs private tutors to work with its Clients. It does not have a database of tutors to act as a pool to draw from, rather, tutors are hand-picked for each Client and a thorough and personalised search for each enquiry is then conducted.
Because of the bespoke nature of their residential tutoring service, the search for the appropriate tutor is time consuming, and so finding, then assigning, a tutor cannot happen in a short turnaround. Mr Caller is keen to emphasise that this selection process takes time and due diligence to best meet individual requirements:
The student's educational needs are personally assessed, as are the family's practical requirements. A senior member of the Tutors International team will always meet the family at home to best evaluate these requirements and draft a job specification agreement, which is approved by the Client and shared with the tutor.
Mr Caller explained that initial assessments of the student's educational needs and the family's practical requirements will be followed by a targeted international recruitment campaign to identify and interview suitable private tutor candidates. The family is then encouraged to meet two candidates and spend time with them. Mr Caller advised families not to underestimate the importance of finding a tutor who will integrate into the family dynamic successfully:
Once applications have been received, Tutors International follows a strict selection and verification process. Time needs to be allowed for initial interviews with the Tutors International team, enhanced identity and security checks, and thorough verification of qualifications, references, and employment history. Candidates selected to meet Clients are subject to further background screening by an external international security firm. Mr Caller again stresses how important it is to factor in the time needed to find the perfect tutor:
However, Mr Caller did highlight one exception which could see parents finding a suitable candidate within a shorter timeframe:
"
