On behalf of our private client, we are seeking a highly capable Academic Governess for a private family in London with three school-aged kids aged 8, 10 and 10. This is an educational and organisational position rather than a traditional nanny role. The family already has separate support for meals, household duties and general childcare so the focus here is entirely on the children's academic development, extracurricular schedules and creating a structured, stimulating routine after school. There is real potential for the role and hours to grow over time for the right person.

Overseeing and supporting homework across all three kids
Reading with the children and encouraging a love of books and learning
Supporting revision, school projects and independent study
Maintaining an overview of school communications, deadlines and upcoming assessments
Coordinating and accompanying the children to extracurricular activities
Collecting one child from school on foot where needed
Encouraging curiosity, intellectual development and strong study habits
Taking genuine ownership of the children's after-school routine and structure
The successful candidate will:
Have previous teaching, tutoring, governess or educational experience
Have an excellent understanding of the British curriculum, particularly KS2/Year 6, with the ability to support progression into KS3
Have strong English and mathematics skills
