Often our tutors are called in when a family's children's school work is deemed unsatisfactory. The reason is not obvious why all of them are doing badly so at school. 

It very soon becomes apparent to a tutor that neither of the parents have the time to bring up their children properly. Both parents often have very high-powered jobs and also run hectic social lives; with both of them rushing home to change in the evenings only to rush out to some other business or social evening occasions. 

The weekends are the same; summer weekends spent with sophisticated friends to which the children are not invited but left with baby sitters. The same in the winter at exclusive ski resorts. No question of the children being invited. The children feel like unappreciated second-class citizens. Children are not naturally self-motivated. The slightest encouragement can have an amazing effect on a child. Children (and all of us) have four real needs:  to see others, to understand others, to be seen and to be understood. If they feel ignored or invisible it damages their outlook and success.  

Our tutors become their mentor, friend and role model - meeting those needs and their school projects start considerably improving. They feel appreciated for efforts that they put in at school and their schools become very satisfied with their work.
