Homeschooling

A private homeschooling programme is a structured, full-time educational provision delivered outside a conventional school, designed around the individual child. At Treberys Private, this means curriculum design, tutor placement, and daily oversight, all coordinated personally and adapted to the child's goals and the family's circumstances.

Yes. Home education is legal in the UK and parents are not required to follow the national curriculum or keep to school hours. Treberys Private can advise on the legal framework and help families establish a programme that is both compliant and educationally rigorous.

Homeschooling suits a wide range of families — those between school placements, travelling or relocating, choosing home education by deliberate preference, or managing specific educational or wellbeing needs that require a more individual approach. We advise on suitability from an initial conversation.

Yes. Curriculum design is central to what we do. We build programmes around the child's age, academic level, and longer-term goals, whether aligned to the national curriculum, an international framework such as the IB, or a bespoke pathway suited to the family's plans.

Both, depending on what the programme requires. Some children work best with a single tutor delivering a broad programme. Others benefit from a small team of subject specialists. We advise on the right structure from the outset and manage whichever approach is taken.

Yes. Many of the programmes we manage are designed with future school re-entry in mind, whether at 7+, 11+, 13+, or sixth form. We ensure the curriculum keeps pace with entry requirements and that the child is well prepared for the transition back into a school environment.

Yes. We regularly design programmes for globally mobile families, coordinating tutors who can work locally in different locations or travel alongside the family where required.

This varies considerably. Some programmes cover a defined period of a term or two. Others run for several years. We design each programme around the family's circumstances and review it regularly as needs evolve.

Yes. For families with school re-entry in mind, we often coordinate school placement consultancy and entrance preparation alongside the main programme, ensuring both run under one consistent approach.

Every programme begins with an initial conversation to understand your child and your circumstances. We then advise on the most appropriate approach and outline the next steps. There is no obligation and all enquiries are handled personally.

A private PA supports the principal directly, managing their personal diary, correspondence, travel and administrative demands. A household manager is focused on the running of the property and the people within it. Some households employ both; others look for one person who can span both functions. We can advise on which structure tends to work best for a given household size and lifestyle.

A thorough vetting process should include a face-to-face interview with the agency, direct reference checks with previous employers, qualification verification and an enhanced DBS check processed by the agency rather than supplied by the candidate. For roles with an educational component, direct assessment of subject knowledge and teaching approach should also be included. We follow all of these steps as standard.

Paediatric first aid is expected of all candidates placed in childcare roles. We confirm certification as part of our vetting process and can advise on refresher training where needed.

Yes. The UAE is one of our most active placement markets. We regularly place nannies, governesses, tutors, household managers and private PAs for families in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and are familiar with the specific requirements and expectations of households in the region.

Yes. We place private staff for families based in Monaco, including nannies, tutors, household managers and private PAs. Many of the families we work with divide their time between London, Monaco and other residences, and we are well placed to support staffing needs across multiple locations.

Yes. We work with families in Saudi Arabia, placing nannies, governesses, tutors and household managers with a clear understanding of the cultural expectations and practical requirements specific to the region.

Yes. We regularly place nannies and tutors in roles that involve international travel alongside the family. Candidates for these positions are specifically assessed for adaptability, experience in travel-based environments and suitability for roles that require flexibility across borders and time zones.
