A live-in tutor provides something no school timetable can offer — complete educational continuity, wherever in the world your family happens to be.

EED places live-in and residential tutors with private families across London, Dubai and internationally — professionals with outstanding academic credentials, genuine teaching ability and the personal qualities to integrate discreetly and effectively into a private household.

What Is a Live-In Tutor?

A live-in tutor — sometimes called a residential tutor — lives within the family home or travels with the family as a permanent member of the household. Unlike a visiting tutor who comes for fixed sessions, a live-in tutor is available as an ongoing educational resource: responding to the child’s needs flexibly, maintaining a consistent academic programme across locations, and providing the mentorship and pastoral support that only a long-term relationship allows.

Who Hires a Live-In Tutor?

Travelling Families

Families who need their children’s education to continue seamlessly across yachts, private residences, hotels and school holiday travel — without gaps or disruption.

Exam Preparation

Families whose children face critical examinations — GCSE, A-level, IB, university entrance — wanting intensive, sustained academic support without scheduling constraints.

Newly Relocated Families

Families who have moved to London or internationally and need continuity of education while children transition into the local school system.

Specialist Academic Needs

Gifted children requiring extension beyond the school curriculum, or those who benefit significantly from highly personalised one-to-one academic support.

What a Live-In Tutor Does

  • One-to-one academic tuition across one or multiple subjects to the highest standard
  • Travelling internationally and maintaining a consistent study programme
  • Preparing students for GCSE, IGCSE, A-level, IB, SAT or university entrance
  • Supporting school applications — 11+, 13+ Common Entrance, Oxbridge and international university admissions
  • Academic mentorship and study skills development alongside subject tuition
  • Liaising with the child’s school teachers to complement and extend the curriculum
Salary range: Live-in tutor salaries reflect the seniority of the role and the residential commitment involved — typically £40,000–£80,000+ gross per annum depending on subject specialism, qualifications, travel requirements and the intensity of the academic programme.
