What Tutors International does

Tutors International is a privately held, founder-owned private tutoring consultancy founded in 1999 by Adam Caller in Oxford, England. The company specializes in full-time residential private tuition for ultra-high-net-worth families globally, conducting a customized global search for every tutor placement rather than operating as a conventional agency that simply matches from a static roster. Its core product is the placement and ongoing management of full-time private tutors — live-in or live-out, for full homeschooling, supplementary schooling, or travelling — supported by specialized offerings for special educational needs (dyslexia, ADD, ADHD), early years, exam preparation, gifted learners, relocation transitions, and young athletes, actors, and musicians.

The business model is a high-touch, direct-to-client consultancy with bespoke pricing. Client fees typically range from £120,000 to £360,000+ per annum, with the company retaining roughly 25-30% after paying tutors 70-75% of collected fees; contracts are structured annually with ongoing support throughout the engagement. Customer acquisition is driven by earned media (BBC, CNBC, Vanity Fair, Robb Report), founder-led PR, referrals within UHNW networks, and a deep case-study library, rather than digital funnels or paid acquisition. The firm has placed tutors in 50+ countries, served 250+ clients, completed 550+ placements, and delivered over one million student-hours, supported by a 47,000+ curated tutor database and Kroll FPR background screening. Operations run from Oxford (UK headquarters) and Carlsbad, California (US office), with a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Varsity Tutors: Varsity Tutors is a large online and in-person tutoring platform offering 1-on-1 academic tutoring across virtually every subject. It overlaps with Tutors International in the private tutoring category but operates at much broader scale and price points rather than a premium UHNW residential offering.
• Wyzant: Wyzant operates an online marketplace connecting families with private tutors across a wide range of subjects and grade levels. While predominantly a marketplace (vs. Tutors International's curated placement model), it competes for the same customer need — vetted private academic tutors delivered to the home.
• Tutor.com: Tutor.com is an online on-demand tutoring service operating across K-12 and college subjects. It is a broad incumbent in the tutoring category but is structurally different — digital-first and lower price point — versus Tutors International's high-touch residential placements.
• Kaplan: Kaplan is a global education and test-prep provider offering tutoring, admissions consulting, and standardized exam prep. It is a broad incumbent with adjacent services (especially admissions) that compete with parts of Tutors International's exam-prep and study-overseas support offerings.
• The Princeton Review: The Princeton Review is a long-established test-prep and tutoring brand offering SAT/ACT, admissions, and subject tutoring. It serves aspirational families (not exclusively UHNW) and competes for tutoring share with Tutors International, especially on the exam-preparation side of Tutors International's product set.

Direct peers

• Crimson Education: Crimson provides elite, bespoke admissions and academic mentoring for high-achieving students globally, frequently from UHNW families. Both companies operate in the premium private-tutoring/education-consulting niche, sell on customized personalization, and serve a globally mobile, high-spending parent segment.
• Tutor Doctor: Tutor Doctor is a franchised in-home tutoring network providing personalized 1-on-1 tutoring across subjects and grade levels. Direct comparison with Tutors International is meaningful because both deliver matched, in-person private tutors to the family home, though Tutor Doctor operates at mainstream price points and Tutor International at the premium tier.
• Highgrove Education: Highgrove Education is a UK-based private tutoring consultancy serving high-net-worth families with personalized in-person tutoring. It is a direct peer — same geography, same UHNW positioning, same bespoke matching model — and was the source of the 'Rolls Royce' endorsement cited in Tutors International's recognitions.

Emerging players

• Superprof: Superprof is an international online marketplace connecting students with private tutors across academic subjects and languages, with strong presence in Europe. It overlaps with Tutors International in the private-tutor category but as a low-friction digital marketplace rather than a curated residential placement service.
• PrepScholar: PrepScholar is an online test-prep and tutoring platform with a strong focus on personalized learning algorithms for SAT/ACT prep. It competes with Tutors International's standardized exam preparation service via a digital-only, lower-touch delivery model.
