We have met with Bespoke Tuition’s staff. In addition, 41 clients and 47 tutors have completed an on-line survey (sent to 102 clients and 97 tutors) and we have followed this up with additional short phone interviews with some of those surveyed.
Clients and tutors don’t talk about ‘Bespoke Tuition’ – they just talk about ‘Emma.’ ‘Emma is always dependable and extremely helpful.’ ‘Emma’s service is just amazing.’ ‘Emma provided me with the best tutor ever.’ All the more impressive when you consider that she’s taken on a whole team (all freelance) since we last reviewed this higher end agency, so there are now services specialists in travelling tutors, home schooling, mindfulness and speech and language. There are also club, course and masterclass leaders in study skills, critical thinking, writing club, Shakespeare workshop, debating and book and poetry club. Then there’s Bespoke’s accounts manager, plus specialists for the consultancy arm. Despite this small army (which must make for a jolly interesting dinner party), Emma remains the first and main point of contact throughout and does all the hand picking of tutors for clients. ‘I know every tutor and every family,’ says Emma, her sparkly, polished manner rarely failing to win them over.

Review snapshot: "Founded in 2006 by Kate Shand who is committed, passionate, energetic and hugely likeable. Clearly on a mission to deliver a top quality service to her clients – and her tutors – Kate is eloquent on the personal nature of the tutor-client-agency relationship and has a positively moral take on what she sees as her job."
Review snapshot: Getting your child better grades is the raison d’être of this company, which they do through their bank of qualified teachers. So, while other tutor agencies might offer you a med student who teaches science on the side to make a bit of extra money, Capital employs actual teachers with classroom experience to… Areas covered: Around half the tutoring happens online – these pupils mainly live in the South East, with others living all over the UK and beyond into Africa, Singapore and Dubai. The other half is in-person tutoring at the pupil’s home – mainly in London…
