Our Approach

Families come to London International Tutors for many reasons. Some are navigating the UK education system for the first time, others are balancing international curricula, school transitions, or long-term academic goals across borders.

Before any tutoring begins, we focus on understanding the full picture.

We take time to understand your child as an individual, their academic background, learning style, confidence, and future plans. For international families, this often includes guidance around curriculum differences, assessment standards, and expectations within the UK system.

Only then do we design the right support.

How We Work With Families

Understand

We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and educational context, including any international transitions.

Advise

We help clarify priorities and pathways, whether that’s exam preparation, school admissions, smoother entry into UK education, or broader academic planning.

Design

Support is tailored, not prescribed. We advise on subjects, pace, format, and whether tutoring, coordination, or guidance alone is most appropriate.

Match & Support

When tutoring is the right next step, we handpick tutors based on academic expertise, personality, and experience, and remain involved as support progresses.

Guidance First, Tutoring When Needed

Some families work with us long-term. Others simply need clarity at a key moment.
We’re always honest about what we believe will help most, whether that involves tutoring or not.

Tutoring Services

We offer a range of tutoring services, from individual sessions to intensive courses, full timetables & home-schooling.

Tuition Levels

  • Common Entrance Exams

    We prepare children for 7+ to 16+ entrance exams, including 11+, 13+, ISEB and individual school assessments. Through regular lessons, past paper practice and expert guidance, we help build confidence and achieve places at top UK independent schools.

  • GCSE/IGCSE

    We offer flexible GCSE support to build knowledge and confidence in any subject, from weekly sessions to revision courses or one-off help with tricky topics.

  • International Baccalaureate

    Our tutors support every part of the IB programme, from subject tuition and exam preparation to Extended Essays, study skills and personal development.

  • A Level

    We offer tailored A level tuition in any subject, whether through regular sessions, revision courses or one-off support. For students studying independently, we can arrange exam entry at an external centre and provide expert guidance every step of the way.

  • SAT & ACT

    For students applying to American universities, we offer expert support for both the SAT and ACT, including the optional writing sections and subject tests where required. Whether you're preparing for your first attempt or a last-minute resit, our tutors are here to help you feel confident and ready.

  • University

    Even at university, some topics can be challenging. Our highly educated tutors can provide clarity and direction when you need it most.

Online Tuition

Online tuition offers flexibility, eliminates travel, and allows us to support students wherever they are. Whether it’s weekly lessons, revision help, or last-minute guidance with an essay or assignment, we can arrange the right support quickly — whenever it’s needed.

Private Home Tuition

Some students simply learn best with a tutor by their side. If you’re based in London, we can arrange home tuition that brings expert support directly to you.

Timetable coordination

If your child needs support across multiple subjects, we can create a tailored timetable for a one-off coordination fee – ideal during exam season or school holidays. Of course, many families prefer to arrange sessions directly with tutors for regular, ongoing lessons at no extra cost.

Home-schooling

Some families choose to educate their children at home, valuing flexibility and a more personalised approach. We can provide experienced tutors to deliver a full or partial home-schooling programme, ensuring academic progress and structure while adapting to your child’s individual learning needs.
