Telios Tutors

What Telios Tutors does

Telios Tutors is a London-headquartered, multi-award winning provider of 1-to-1 private tuition in the UK, founded in 2014 by Lisa Giet. The company delivers personalized academic support across the full educational journey — from early years through to university admissions — via three delivery modes: in-person home tuition, online lessons through a proprietary interactive whiteboard system, and live-in/residential/homestay placements. Core exam preparation covers 7+, 8+, 10+, 11+, 13+, ISEB Pre-Test, GCSE, iGCSE, A Level, IB, Oxbridge, and US college admissions. Beyond tutoring, the company operates an education consultancy supporting independent school and university placements, a homeschooling programme, an Alternative Provision service for SEMH/EHCP/excluded students commissioned by UK schools and local authorities, careers and employability advice, and international government partnerships delivering curriculum-aligned programmes and teacher development at national level. A Summer AI Course is offered as an add-on product with adaptive learning, generative content, and virtual classmate features.

The business is sales-led and service-relationship driven. Families reach the company via website form, phone, or WhatsApp; senior staff then personally handpick and match tutors to each student's profile rather than using an algorithmic marketplace. Pricing is quote-based with no public rates and no long-term contracts — students continue on a lesson-by-lesson basis contingent on results. The customer base spans UK and international families, UK secondary schools and PRUs, local authorities, and international government education ministries. The company employs 51-100 staff, holds a 5.0-star rating across 142+ verified Google reviews, and has accumulated industry recognition including 2025 Greater London Business Awards winner, E2 Media Private Tutoring Service of the Year 2025, EducationInvestor Awards 2025/2026 finalist, and corporate membership in The Tutors' Association.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-session and package-based 1-to-1 tuition subscriptions, supplemented by education consultancy fees, school placement advisory fees, Alternative Provision contracts with schools and local authorities, residential/homestay premiums, and international government programme contracts. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding. No patents, regulatory actions, mergers and acquisitions, or restructurings are recorded; the principal strategic movements have been organic service-line expansion and brand positioning through industry awards and professional affiliations.
