The Good Schools Guide review of Elite IB Tutors
Founded in 2011 by Tim Hoffmann when he was tutoring IB students after gaining his degree in Engineering Science from Oxford two years previously (he’d already scored 44 points for his IBDP from Antwerp International School in Belgium). The company has since grown organically, starting with interns, then appointing permanent staff around two years in. The company now operates in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Singapore, while the London HQ now has six staff in addition to Tim. and three full-time senior team members working remotely. All are IB graduates and three started as tutors (still tutor now, although not for EIB to avoid conflict of interest).. Families deal with clienttuition managers Sam or Lawrence (UK), Laura (CH), or Mira (SG), courses manager Frances, or discuss university admissions with Bella, Chris or Sam, while Tim devotes his time to people management, assessments, interviewing tutorspartnerships, UCAS support and Oxbridge preparation.

Review snapshot: We’ve been very pleased,’ says a parent. ‘My child needed very specific help, Lynne had the right person, put us together and it made a big difference.’
Review snapshot: ‘It’s on the more expensive side, particularly for more experienced tutors, but it’s absolutely my favourite. They’re honest, on the ball and have the best quality tutors,’ concluded another parent. read more
Review snapshot: ‘We have families that stay with us throughout their children’s upbringing – then we look after their own children. This really does happen, with generations of the same family having worked with us.’ ‘Having a small register, we know our tutors personally. Some have been with us for many years which helps greatly in matching clients and tutors appropriately.’
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." read more
