Press Release Summary: Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, a leading
provider of full-time private tutors, comments upon the number of SATS preparation
enquiries received by the tutoring agency and warns parents that recruiting private
tutors to help with exam cramming is not beneficial to their child's long-term
education.

Press Release Body: Tutors International announces an increase in requests for
private tutors to help students prepare for the controversial SATs. Adam Caller,
Founder of Tutors International, said "The parents who have contacted us are very
worried about their child's performance and want a private tutor to help with what
is effectively exam cramming for the SATs. Regardless of the fact that our private
tutor sourcing service isn't about this kind of last minute private tuition
provision, I feel it is important to alert parents to the fact that additional help
for their children in the months leading up to critical exam times is not the best
for their child's education in the long term." For more information visit

When asked why he would turn away enquiries of this nature for private tutors, Adam
explained "Tutors International specialises in sourcing private teachers that become
full-time live-in tutors, usually on a mid to long-term basis. Our private tutors
are highly trained and as such can be responsible for the entirety of a child's
education, not just extra hours after school each day for a few months before SATs
time."

Adam went on to say, "I'm really saddened by the effect that the pressure to achieve
good results in the SATs is having on children," Adam continued. "I feel that this
pressure is taking the richness out of school education and sacrificing the
nurturing of thinking and reasoning skills for intensive rote learning of facts.
Hiring a private tutor for extra short-term intense exam preparation only reinforces
that." Adam concluded; "At Tutors International we believe in providing sustained
education of the highest quality and that is why we don't provide private tutors
purely for last minute exam preparation."
