A distinguished diplomatic family is seeking an exceptional travelling teacher to support the education of their three children (B11, G7, G4). This is a unique opportunity for a highly qualified, polished educator to join a fully staffed, formal household and deliver consistent, engaging academic support across multiple international locations.

The family is warm and supportive and values educators who are not only academically strong but also kind, patient, and able to build genuine rapport with children. A good sense of humour and the ability to connect naturally are essential.

The children attend school; however, due to frequent international travel, they require structured and continuous academic guidance to ensure progress and alignment with the UK curriculum. The primary goal is to prepare the eldest child for entry into top UK schools such as Eton or Winchester.

  • Deliver high-quality, engaging lessons tailored to each child’s academic needs
  • Provide specialist teaching in English + Verbal reasoning
  • Bridge gaps in learning and ensure alignment with the UK curriculum
  • Prepare the eldest child for UK senior school entrance examinations
  • Support academic consistency during periods of international travel
  • Collaborate effectively within a fully staffed household
  • Adapt teaching approaches to suit each child’s personality and learning style
  • Provide occasional childcare support if required (e.g., nanny absence)
  • Maintain a professional, organised, and proactive approach at all times

 

Candidate Requirements

  • Qualified secondary school teacher with PGCE (essential) English subject specialism
  • Strong knowledge of the UK curriculum and entrance exam preparation
  • Experience within private households or high-net-worth environments preferred
  • UK native (essential). Visas will be provided
  • Female candidates only (client requirement)
  • Culturally sensitive and respectful of Muslim values
  • Highly polished, professional, and discreet
  • Flexible, adaptable, and positive, with a travel-ready mindset
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport quickly
  • Engaging, personable, and confident communicator with a good sense of humour

 

The Children

Boy, 11: Bright, curious, and intellectually engaged. Strong interest in AI, technology, robotics, and entrepreneurship.

Girl, 7: Social, expressive, and creative. Enjoys cheerleading, fashion, and spending time with friends. Requires academic support to close learning gaps.

Girl, 4: Calm, focused, and naturally academic. Enjoys structured activities and independent learning. Initially shy but warm and content once comfortable.

 

Package

  • Competitive salary, dependent on experience
  • Separate live-out accommodation provided (hotels or private apartments depending on location)
  • International travel with the family (USA, Uzbekistan, Europe, and beyond)
  • 28 days' holiday
  • Healthcare coverage
