For internationally mobile families and those committed to raising bilingual children, a bilingual governess is one of the most valuable household appointments available.

EED places bilingual and multilingual governesses with UHNW families across London, the GCC, Europe and beyond — professionals who combine exceptional educational credentials with native or near-native fluency in a second language.

What Is a Bilingual Governess?

A bilingual governess is a qualified educational professional who delivers instruction and manages a child’s development across two or more languages. Rather than teaching a language as a subject, she uses the second language as the medium through which she educates and communicates — embedding language acquisition naturally into the child’s daily life and learning.

This immersive approach is widely regarded as the most effective method of developing true bilingualism — particularly in the critical developmental window between ages 2 and 10.

Bilingual Governess for GCC & Middle East Families

EED has extensive experience placing bilingual governesses with affluent families based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha and across the GCC. Arabic-English bilingual governesses are particularly sought after, as are English-French governesses for families educated in the French system. We understand the cultural sensitivities and specific requirements of GCC placements; thus international placements are managed with full discretion.
