Seamless continuity of education — wherever in the world your family may be.
What You Can Expect From Our Programmes
Across countries and continents, our tutors anchor learning while drawing on the world around them. Travel becomes a source of curiosity, perspective and depth — not a disruption to your child’s education.
Our Services
Our International Programmes
Our international tutoring programmes are fully bespoke and can be built from the ground up — bringing world-class education to your child wherever life takes you.
-
Full-Time Residential Tutors
A full-time tutor provides stability abroad, delivering complete homeschooling or supplementing local schooling. They become a trusted mentor as well as a teacher, blending academic rigour with guidance on confidence and independence.
-
Travelling Tutors
For families on the move, travelling tutors ensure continuity of education. Lessons travel with you — from villas to yachts — turning the world into a classroom and keeping progress seamless.
-
Holiday Tutors
Short-term tutors keep learning alive during school breaks, consolidating knowledge or sparking curiosity. Sessions are enjoyable yet effective, so children return to school refreshed and ahead.
-
Tutors for Relocating Families
During moves, our tutors provide continuity of learning while our consultants advise on admissions and placement. We help children transition smoothly — academically and emotionally.
I never knew I could learn about the Etruscans in Naples…
Our international programmes adapt to UK, IB, or US systems — enriched by local culture, history, and geography. A maths lesson might happen on a sailboat; history could come alive in Rome or Paris. Your imagination is the only limitation.

Continuity across multiple homes
"Our life is fairly nomadic — New York, London, the South of France. Having a mentor-like figure join us on our travels gave our children a sense of curiosity they greatly benefitted from. Their maturity has deepened. Bravo Lionheart."
Charles B.
Travelling tutor for child with SEND
“We were nervous about bringing a tutor into the family home, but within days it felt natural. Our daughter has autism and we have previously struggled to find a good tutor for her. Please send our thanks to the wider team.”
Cindy M.
Mentorship alongside academics
"It wasn’t just the academics — though the results spoke for themselves. Our tutor became a mentor, someone my children trusted and respected. That balance of rigour and warmth is rare."

Travelling tutor for GCSE continuity
"When work took us to Dubai at short notice, I panicked about my son missing months of GCSE prep. Lionheart found us a tutor who flew out within a week. He kept up academically and even grew in confidence — something we hadn’t seen in years."

Safeguarding & Discretion

Every tutor is trained in child protection, professional boundaries, and safe conduct in both home and travel environments. All tutors undergo enhanced DBS and international background checks, with references verified to the highest standard.

Frequently asked questions
-
What makes Lionheart’s international tutors different from other tutoring services?
Our tutors are more than academics. They are hand-selected for their ability to combine subject expertise with cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and discretion. Whether teaching in a chalet, on board a yacht, or in a family’s London home, they blend seamlessly into family life while maintaining the highest professional standards.
-
How do you match tutors with each family?
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your child’s academic needs, personality, and lifestyle. From there, we recommend tutors who not only have the right subject knowledge and curriculum experience, but also the character and temperament to form a natural rapport with your child. The right match is at the heart of every successful placement.
-
Can you provide tutors for families who travel frequently?
Yes. Many Lionheart families have semi-nomadic lifestyles. Our tutors accompany them on extended travel, designing flexible programmes that continue seamlessly across time zones, locations, and even modes of travel. When needed, tuition can be blended with online lessons to ensure there is never a gap in learning.
-
Do you support children with special educational needs while abroad?
Absolutely. We have tutors experienced in working with students with ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning profiles. Lessons are designed with sensitivity and structure, ensuring continuity of progress even in unfamiliar settings. This support often extends beyond academics — building confidence, routine, and resilience while away from home.
-
How do you ensure the safety and discretion of international placements?
Every Lionheart tutor undergoes rigorous background checks and safeguarding training. We establish clear professional boundaries, provide travel protocols, and, where required, NDAs. Families trust us because we combine exceptional teaching with a discreet, respectful presence.
-
Will the tutor live in our home, or can they live elsewhere?
Tutors can live in your home or nearby, depending on your family’s preference. Many families choose live-in arrangements for continuity and convenience, but tutors can also stay in a local apartment or hotel. In all cases, a private bedroom is required to ensure professional boundaries and a comfortable environment for everyone.
-
How flexible are your tutors in terms of time zones and travel schedules?
Flexibility is built into this service. Tutors adapt their teaching to fit with travel itineraries, time-zones, and family routines. If unexpected changes arise, lessons can continue online. The aim is always the same: stability for your child, wherever life takes them.
