Tutors International 'super tutor' placements rise 18% as median salary passes £200,000
Tutors International secured 20 private tutor placements during the year to 4 November 2026, an increase of 18% on the previous 12 months. The median annual salary attached to those placements rose by 34%, from £150,050 to £201,327.
The company advertised 26 private tutoring positions during the year, up from 20 in the previous 12 months. Together, the positions offered annualised salaries worth almost £5 million, an increase of 34% year on year.
Adam Caller, founder and CEO of Tutors International, said: "A salary of £200,000 will attract attention, but these are unusually demanding roles.
“A tutor may need to travel internationally, support an elite sporting career or create an individual curriculum for a highly gifted child. More families want an experienced educator who can take responsibility for their child's education and adapt it around the way they live and learn."
Often dubbed "super tutors," these educators may design a complete curriculum, replace school and travel internationally with the family. Interest in professional tutoring is also growing.
The advertised positions received 4,181 applications, up 48%, while 6,646 new tutors registered with the company during the year, an increase of 30%. But Caller cautioned that teaching experience alone did not automatically prepare candidates for this kind of work:
"Working with one child inside a private household is very different from teaching a class. Academic credentials matter, but so do judgement, adaptability and the ability to work independently. The salary reflects the responsibility involved."
