Press Release Summary: Adam Caller, founder of Tutors international, a leading
private tutors agency, describes the qualities that the best full-time live-in
tutors have, enabling parents to make informed choices whilst providing guidance for
potential private tutors

Press Release Body: Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, advises parents to
carefully consider the qualities of individuals employed as full-time live-in
tutors, and describes the ideal live-in tutor. "I think it is important for parents
to be aware of the qualities we look for in live-in private tutors as an indication
of what they should expect when contacting private tuition agencies. I'd like to
think that discussion of these qualities will also help to give aspiring live-in
tutors realistic expectations and aspirations."

"Of course, the starting point has to be an excellent academic career, one which
demonstrates a superlative academic track record throughout school and an excellent
degree from a top university," Adam enthused. "Ideally a private live-in tutor will
be skilled in a wide range of subjects - they may have a degree in a language but
studied one or more of the sciences at A-level for example. The very best private
tutors can demonstrate that they have passions - for learning, for interests that
they have pursued beyond school and university. Professional qualifications are a
good indicator of this, but also leisure activities. Many of our tutors have done
extraordinary things; cycled across Europe for example, or enjoy things like
parachuting, travelling, activities that are challenging and broaden the mind."

When asked if there were any other qualities that Tutors International looks for in
potential live-in tutors, Adam added; "We also look for a particular type of
personality; whilst we look for extraordinarily high achievement, we also look for
humility. Arrogance and self-absorption are not good qualities for a full-time
live-in tutor! We look for individuals who make exemplary role models - after all,
they are likely to become a major influence in the child's life. Being a role model
ranges from not smoking to being responsible in society. It's having an unblemished
professional record, and demonstrating total engagement in everything they do, both
professionally and in leisure time."

"Ultimately," Adam added, "The ideal live-in tutor has to be responsible,
resourceful, someone that you know will be able to deal with any kind of problem
that may arise. After all, these people will be trusted to care for a child, not
only in a study or library, but also when out on visits to galleries, museums and
other events. It can take some time to source the ideal live-in tutor," Adam
concluded, "But it is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work in Tutors
international."
