The boy will be taking his Common Entrance exams for a top-tier private school, in England in 2006, and needs to be prepared thoroughly across all subject areas. These include: Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History and English. Experience of working with Common Entrance preparation at this level is essential.

This appointment is not purely about exams though, and the tutor should encourage and develop a holistic well-rounded level of knowledge and understanding in all aspects of life.

There are two scenarios for filling the position:

Scenario 1 (Full time)
The post will be filled by a well-qualified, multi-disciplinary, individual, (or teaching couple).

Scenario 2 (Assignments)
Two or three different teachers on short-term assignments will work in successive placements.

Applications are welcomed from suitably experienced teachers who can teach some or all of the subjects to be covered.
Please note: If the appointment is filled by a couple, they need to be married for visa purposes.

The family leads a physically active lifestyle, including frequent travel. Sometimes plans may change unexpectedly and the tutor’s ready flexibility and willingness to be a part of these activities is essential.

Outside of teaching time, the tutor will be left to his or her own devices, and so he or she will need to be a self-starter, gregarious, and with independent interests.

The family has a small dog and a strong interest in horses – the tutor should therefore like to be around animals.
