2016 will be the year of the private tutor, predicts top global tutoring firm

Leading private tutoring firm, Tutors International, reported booming stats at the end of 2015. Moving into 2016, the firm has recorded a 300% rise in business, compared to this time last year. Tutors International, provider of full-time private tutors around the world, today announced a 300% increase in business. Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, commented: “If this is an indication, and not a short-term flush, then the demand for private tutors can only continue to rise, as there is higher demand for places at the top schools than ever before.”In recent years, the Tutors International has noted a consistent increase in enquiries, from both tutors and families, from all over the world, with a variety of special needs and circumstances. More and more families now recognise the value of private tutoring and the benefits that one-to-one, individualised academic education can offer their children, whether it is after-school support or full-time homeschooling. Many of the organisation’s clients require more flexibility than a traditional classroom education can accommodate.Mr Caller adds: “We receive many enquiries from ex-pats and hard-working professionals who have trouble maintaining family life when faced with punishing work schedules and conflicting academic timetables. Tutors International also specialises in placing tutors with students with a variety of special educational needs, such as ADHD and dyslexia, who often thrive with increased one-to-one support and encouragement that may not always available to them in a traditional classroom scenario. We’ve repeatedly seen children excel when given the opportunity to learn at their own pace, in a familiar environment, with a curriculum that is tailored to appeal to their personal strengths and interests. This is how we know we’re on the right track.”The firm also predicts a surge in investment in education as Britain, and other countries, emerge from recession. It notes that, in order to meet the anticipated demand effectively, there needs to be recognised professional tutoring qualifications and tighter screening of tutoring companies to identify those not meeting high standards. Tutors International, founded in 1999, has received over 13,000 applications from tutors over its lifetime and takes an extremely thorough approach to recruitment in order to meet the specific needs of both student and tutor.For more information on the services offered by Tutors International and for advice on homeschooling, visit tutors-international.com.
