Private Tutors
Tutors chosen for emotional intelligence, not just academic intelligence.
We value relationship-building and chemistry when it comes to matching a tutor with a student we are entrusted with. Finding the right tutor for your child can be transformative and life-changing, opening the door to many potential opportunities for years to come.…
Rest assured, tutors go through a safer-recruitment process to ensure they are highly vetted and have demonstrated excellence in delivering results both in rapport-building, communication and academia.
Our Professional Tutors
Selected for more than academic credentials
The professional tutors we work with are selected for more than academic credentials. Strong subject knowledge is a standard expectation, but what we have found is, personality fit, excellent communication is just as important. Families receive a considered recommendation rather than an unfiltered list of profiles.

School Entrance Tutors
School entrance preparation should reflect the child and the schools being considered. 7+, 8+, 10+, 11+ or 13+ applications are pathways to schools that require a child to sit common entrance exams and we are intentional about supporting families in order to help achieve desired outcomes.
Telios works with tutors who understand age-appropriate English, mathematics, reasoning, written work, interviews and school-specific assessments. Where Common Entrance, the ISEB Pre-Tests or another admissions test is involved, the preparation is shaped around the confirmed requirements rather than assumptions.
The aim is not to rehearse a child into giving fixed answers. It is to strengthen the underlying knowledge, confidence and thinking skills needed to approach unfamiliar questions with greater independence.
We have tutored students from various independent and grammar schools, including:
Harrow School
Eton College
Westminster School
St Swithun’s School
Wycombe Abbey
Cheltenham Ladies’ College
Latymer Upper
St Paul’s Girls’ School
Sevenoaks School
Southbank International
Emanuel School
The Harrodian School
Bute House School
Tiffin Girls’ School
The Latymer School
St Michael’s Grammar School
At GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and International Baccalaureate level, effective tuition must be specific to the subject, specification and student. A tutor should be able to identify where understanding is insecure, explain difficult material clearly and show the learner how to apply knowledge under assessment conditions.
Support may focus on closing gaps, extending a high-achieving student, improving essay or problem-solving technique, organising revision or preparing for a particular examination period. Telios considers the curriculum, exam board, current attainment and working style before recommending a tutor.
The purpose is not to create dependence. Good tuition should help the student become more accurate, self-aware and increasingly capable of managing demanding work independently.
University admissions can involve far more than predicted grades. Depending on the course and institution, a student may need to prepare for admissions tests, academic interviews, written work or a particularly demanding subject application.
Telios can recommend tutors with relevant subject and admissions experience to help students deepen their thinking, practise unfamiliar problems and communicate their ideas with greater precision. Support is shaped around the current requirements of the chosen course rather than a generic admissions formula.
Tuition can provide structure, challenge and constructive feedback and support an individual to navigate this process.

Our Approach
Finding the Right Tutor for Your Child
Finding the Right Tutor
Finding the right tutor for your child can be transformative. A good tutor should develop a child’s ability to use initiative and unearth self-leadership — not just impart knowledge — with the right balance of reassurance and challenge.
We consider the student’s academic position, goals, personality, confidence, preferred way of working and practical requirements. We then recommend a tutor and explain the reasoning behind the match.
Our Approach
Our approach begins with the learner. We take time to understand what has prompted the enquiry, consider key performance indicators of a successful outcome and the right tutor for the student.

Every Stage
Private Tuition for Every Stage of Education
From the earliest foundations through to university preparation, Telios Tutors provides carefully considered private tuition for families in London, across the UK and internationally. Every tutor is selected for their academic expertise, ability to connect with the individual learner and suitability for the family’s particular goals.
The early years of education shape far more than academic knowledge. They influence a child’s confidence, curiosity and attitude towards learning.
Our primary and early years tutors provide thoughtful, age-appropriate support in literacy, phonics, reading, writing, mathematics and broader curriculum development. Lessons are engaging without becoming superficial, helping children build strong foundations while retaining their natural enthusiasm for discovery.
Tuition may support classroom learning, address emerging gaps, provide greater challenges or prepare a child for entry into a selective school.
The 7+, 8+ and 10+ require children to demonstrate secure academic foundations, independent thinking and confidence under assessment conditions.
Our specialist 7+, 8+ tutors prepare pupils for competitive entrance examinations and interviews at leading independent schools. Support may include English, mathematics, reasoning, comprehension, creative writing and interview preparation, with teaching adapted carefully to the requirements of each target school.
We aim to prepare children thoroughly without placing unnecessary pressure on them, preserving confidence and enjoyment throughout the process.
Our experienced 11+ tutors support pupils applying to selective independent and grammar schools in London and throughout the UK.
Preparation may cover English, mathematics, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, creative writing and school-specific assessments. We consider the child’s current attainment, the expectations of their chosen schools and the time available before creating a focused programme of tuition.
Where appropriate, we also provide interview preparation and guidance for families navigating multiple school applications.
The transition to senior school is academically demanding and often requires preparation across several subjects.
Our 13+ and Common Entrance tutors support pupils preparing for entry to leading independent schools, including those sitting school-specific examinations, the ISEB Common Pre-Test or Common Entrance papers.
Tuition may be arranged across English, mathematics, science, humanities, languages and reasoning, with subject specialists working together where a broader programme is required. We also support scholarship preparation, interviews and the development of effective study habits ahead of senior school.
GCSE tuition should do more than help a student remember content. It should strengthen understanding, improve examination technique and give the student a clearer sense of control over their studies.
Our GCSE tutors provide subject-specific support across major examination boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge International and WJEC. Tuition may address knowledge gaps, raise predicted grades, support revision or help an ambitious student work towards the highest possible results.
Each programme is shaped around the student’s syllabus, schoolwork, assessment history and academic objectives.
A Levels demand depth of understanding, disciplined independent study and the ability to communicate complex ideas with precision.
Our A Level tutors are selected for their strong subject knowledge and experience of preparing students for demanding examinations and university progression. They support students with course content, essay writing, problem-solving, revision planning and examination technique.
For those applying to highly selective universities, tuition may also be coordinated with admissions test preparation, personal statement guidance and interview support.
The International Baccalaureate is broad, rigorous and particularly demanding of a student’s time and organisation.
Our IB tutors support students across Standard Level and Higher Level subjects, including the Diploma Programme core. Tuition may include subject teaching, Internal Assessment guidance, Extended Essay support, Theory of Knowledge and structured preparation for final examinations.
We work with internationally mobile families and students attending leading schools in the UK and overseas, providing consistent academic support across time zones where required.
Some students need more than subject tuition. They may be capable but inconsistent, ambitious but overwhelmed, or unsure how to translate their potential into sustained progress.
Our academic mentors help students develop organisation, accountability, resilience, study habits and greater ownership of their education. Mentoring can be especially valuable during examination years, school transitions or periods when confidence and motivation have begun to decline.
The relationship is structured, purposeful and adapted to the maturity and circumstances of the individual student.
Formats
Online, residential and international tuition
Online Tutoring
Online tutoring allows families to choose from a wider range of subject specialists without being limited by geography. It can support regular weekly tuition, examination preparation, international families, travel and periods when in-person lessons are impractical.
A strong online lesson should feel active and responsive. Tutors may use shared documents, digital whiteboards, live annotation, guided questioning and examination material, but the technology should never distract from the teaching.
Telios considers the learner’s age, concentration, confidence, subject and independence before recommending online tuition. Where face-to-face support appears more suitable, we will say so.
Residential and Travelling Tutors
Live-in tuition provides families with a highly personalised and flexible form of academic support.
A live-in tutor may accompany a family during school holidays, international travel or an extended period away from school. They can provide daily teaching, supervise independent study and help maintain academic momentum while adapting naturally to the family’s schedule.
Every placement is handled discreetly and with close attention to academic requirements, personality, household expectations, safeguarding and cultural fit.
International Tutors
Telios Tutors supports families throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and beyond.
Our international tutors work with students following British, international and school-specific curricula, including GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, IB and entrance examinations for UK schools and universities. Tuition is available online, while in-person, residential and travelling arrangements can be considered for selected placements.
We understand the importance of continuity, discretion and cultural awareness when supporting internationally mobile families. Every arrangement is designed around the student, their school system and the wider ambitions of the family.
