A tutor’s job is to motivate and inspire, not just teach. Teaching is the easy part; inspiring and motivating is the difficult part and it takes a certain type of individual to motivate and inspire. Tutors from England’s tutors are such people. 

They are all outstanding people, rather than outstanding teachers. They are the type of people who in their daily lives are looked up to by their friends and acquaintances. The type of people who impress when they walk into a room; the type of people who impress at dinner parties; the type of people who stand out in a crowd. The type of people who are born leaders. 

We do not send tutors who are just academically competent; we send well-rounded individuals who are many-facetted. Not teachers, but inspirers. A typical compliment from one of our clients was “Alistair is one of the finest people we have ever met”. Our tutors must have the ability to understand everything about children – what motivates them, what influences them, what drives them, not just how to teach them. They have to inspire them so that their pupils want to please them. That is the secret of being a good tutor. 

Such has been the success of Tutors from England that, almost inevitably, parents ask for the same tutor to be sent back the second and even third time to tutor their children. And many of our tutors remain friends of the family for ever. SW
