The Good Schools Guide review of Riviera Tutors
A family affair: Luke Sullivan, who graduated in English literature from Bristol, is the founder and main front-man. His wife, Olena – lawyer by training, speaker at Davos 2018 (on the ‘challenges facing education today’) and recipient of the State Medal of Ukraine for her ‘outstanding contribution towards youth development’ - supports him with aplomb, and takes care of their Russian-speaking families. Luke’s cousin Vanessa (history Cambridge graduate and ex-PWC) heads up logistics and recruitment.

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.’
