A UHNW family is seeking a capable, confident and engaging Academic Tutor to work with their six-year-old daughter on a maternity cover basis.

The role is primarily based in Virginia Water during term time, with the opportunity to travel to the family’s residence in France for an initial 2 - 3 week period in August to support with the transition and establish routine. The household is fully staffed, including rota nannies, chefs, drivers and housekeepers, allowing you to focus solely on the child’s academic and social development.

You will be responsible for delivering structured, engaging sessions aligned with the British National Curriculum (Year 2 level), supporting schoolwork and fostering a genuine love of learning. All school administration is managed by a PA, allowing you to focus purely on tutoring and educational development.

The young girl has a big personality - she is creative, curious and full of energy. She loves animals, outdoor adventures and imaginative play. The family are seeking someone who can guide her behaviour with a calm, consistent approach, maintaining structure without being overly authoritative.

This is a collaborative role within a large, fully staffed household, including rota nannies, chefs, drivers and housekeepers. You will also be working alongside other members of staff, so confidence, professionalism and strong emotional intelligence are key. The environment is well-run and relatively formal, and the family are looking for someone polished, proactive and able to hold their own.

A teaching background and strong understanding of the primary age group is essential.

A driver would be beneficial, though not required (the property is within walking distance of the station, and drivers are available for school collections).

It is not generally anticipated that the candidate will be required to travel during the school holidays however there may be occasional international travel for limited periods.

This role would suit a high-calibre educator seeking a focused, part-time position within a well-structured private household.
