How do you match a tutor to a student?

We match tutors carefully based on academic need, age, personality and the type of support required. Subject knowledge matters, but so does the ability to build trust, momentum and the right working relationship.

Do you offer in-person, online and hybrid tuition?

Yes. We offer in-person, online and hybrid support depending on the student's needs and location. The format should suit the child and the practical realities of family life, rather than being fixed in one direction.

Can you provide tutors in London?

Yes. We work with families in London and can arrange in-person support where appropriate. We also support London-based families who need online or blended arrangements.

Do you work with families outside the UK?

Yes. We support families internationally, including those based overseas full-time or moving between locations.

Can you help with 7+, 11+, 13+ and common entrance preparation?

Yes. We provide tuition for entrance preparation at different stages, including 7+, 11+, 13+ and common entrance. Support can be focused, long-term or integrated with wider school consultancy.

Do you provide GCSE, A Level and IB tutors?

Yes. We work across the main senior academic pathways, including GCSE, A Level and IB. Tutor selection takes into account subject expertise, exam-board familiarity and the kind of support the student responds to best.

Can tuition support confidence and learning gaps as well as exams?

Yes. Tuition is not only for formal exam preparation. It can also help with confidence, consistency, learning gaps, transitions between schools and the rebuilding of academic momentum.

Are your tutors teachers?

Some are qualified teachers, while others come from strong academic or specialist tutoring backgrounds. The right fit depends on the child, the subject and the nature of the brief.

How are tutors vetted?

Tutors are selected carefully and checked before being introduced. Vetting is an important part of the process, but so is ensuring the tutor is genuinely suited to the student and family.

Can tuition be arranged at short notice?

Often, yes. Availability depends on the brief and location, but we regularly help families who need support quickly, whether for a school deadline, a move or an unexpected academic concern.

How often should tuition take place?

That depends on the student's goals, timetable and capacity. Some benefit from regular weekly sessions, while others need a more concentrated period of support.

Can tutoring run alongside a school placement process?

Yes. Tuition and consultancy often work well together. A school search may reveal the need for academic preparation, while tuition can also help support a smoother admissions process.

Do you offer long-term tuition as well as short-term intensive support?

Yes. Some families need sustained support over time, while others need a shorter intensive period around exams, entrance assessments or a particular transition.

Can you provide tutors during relocation or extended travel?

Yes. We support families who need educational continuity during travel, relocation or other periods of change. This may be through online tuition, in-person support or a more residential arrangement depending on circumstances.

What makes Treberys tuition different?

Treberys takes a more considered and relationship-led approach to tuition. We focus not only on subject coverage, but on the wider context around the child, the family and the educational aim behind the support.

Mid-Year & Urgent School Placement

Consultancy

Independent advice when a school move cannot wait for the usual admissions cycle.

Some school decisions arise unexpectedly.

A family may be relocating at short notice, a current placement may no longer be working, a school may close, a student may need to change environment, or the usual admissions timetable may simply have passed.

Treberys Private supports families who need to identify realistic school options quickly, coordinate applications and assessments, and maintain academic continuity while the next placement is secured.

When the usual admissions timetable no longer applies

Most independent-school admissions are structured around predictable entry points and registration deadlines.

Urgent or mid-year placement is different.

The first question is not which schools would normally be considered, but which suitable schools may realistically have availability and be prepared to consider an application at that point in the academic year.

Treberys Private begins by establishing the child's current position, the reason for the move, the intended timing and any constraints around location, curriculum or year group.

We then identify the realistic options and determine how each school is likely to approach an off-cycle application.

Depending on the circumstances, this may involve school reports, references, academic assessments, interviews or a trial day. Where a family is relocating internationally, curriculum differences and timing may add another layer to the process.

Academic continuity also matters.

If there is a gap between schools, or the child is moving into a different curriculum, private tuition can be arranged to maintain progress and prepare for the next placement.

For some families, an urgent move may ultimately lead to a London day school. For others, boarding may offer a stronger or more immediately workable route. Older students approaching sixth form may need a different strategy again.

The process therefore needs to remain flexible while still being academically considered.

The objective is to move quickly without making a rushed long-term decision.

How we support Families

Immediate case review

We establish the child's current school, academic position, year group, reason for moving, required timing and any practical constraints so that the search begins from a realistic position.

Availability-led school search

We identify suitable schools that may be able to consider an off-cycle application, while still assessing academic fit, environment, location and the child's longer-term needs.

Applications & school liaison

We coordinate applications, reports, references, assessments, interviews and communication with schools, helping the family move through the process efficiently.

Entrance preparation

Where assessments or interviews are required at short notice, we can coordinate School Entrance Preparation or more focused 7+, 11+ & 13+ Tuition.

Interim academic support

Where there is a gap between schools, our Private Tuition provision can maintain academic continuity and support curriculum transition while the placement is being resolved.

Longer-term placement

Urgency does not remove the need for fit. We consider whether a London day school, UK boarding school or another route provides the strongest longer-term solution.

Mid-year entry

A move during the academic year is more dependent on availability than a standard admissions process, but suitable options can still exist.

The search needs to be realistic from the outset, taking account of year group, curriculum, location and the child's academic position.

For younger students, temporary Primary & Prep Tuition can help maintain continuity where there is a short gap between schools.

Where London is the likely destination, our London Independent School Placement work provides a broader view of the capital's day-school market.

Keeping education moving

An urgent school move can create academic disruption if the period between placements is not managed carefully.

Treberys Private can arrange structured Private Tuition while applications are underway, either to maintain the student's current programme or begin bridging into the next one.

Older students can also receive dedicated A Level Tuition or IB Tuition where continuity in examined subjects is particularly important.

Academic support is coordinated with the school-placement strategy rather than treated as a separate arrangement.

Finding the right next step

A short-notice move does not always mean replacing one school with the closest available equivalent.

In some cases, the change creates an opportunity to reconsider the student's wider educational direction.

Boarding may become appropriate through our UK Boarding School Placement work, while older students may need a more specific 16+ & Sixth Form Placement strategy.

For internationally relocating families, the education plan can also sit within our broader Relocating to the UK work.

Frequently Asked Questions
