Your Instructor
Members of Griffin and Bell Education are introduced to professional educators by an agency that delivers superior service as standard. Over the years, we have come to understand the unique ways in which private tuition can support class-based learning, or provide a programme of education in its own right. We use our experience to provide an intelligent link between the needs of the student and the capabilities of the tutors we represent.
Many of the tutors we work with are qualified teachers. Two-thirds of the tutors we work with went to either Oxford or Cambridge. The rest have attended the best universities in the world, from Imperial College to Harvard and Yale. They all share a proven ability to teach effectively. We interview every new tutor rigorously and observe a trial lesson to ensure they meet our standards.
We will take as much time as is necessary to discuss your needs and to answer your questions. We are always available to talk about your progress or that of your child, whether it be on the phone, at your home, or at our offices in Hampstead or Chelsea.
