We have met with Riviera Tutors’ staff. In addition, 24 clients and 20 tutors have completed an on-line survey (sent to 45 clients and 31 tutors) and we have followed this up with additional short phone interviews with some of those surveyed.
A family affair: Luke Sullivan (mid 30s), who graduated in English lit from Bristol, is the founder and main frontman. His wife, Olena – lawyer by training, and a 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 Chamberlain (Cambridge history graduate and ex-PWC) heads up accounts, tutoring management and scheduling. More recently, Laura Kellie (no relation, teacher and educational consultant) joined as head of teaching and learning which covers recruitment, CPD, safeguarding and SEND, student progress and curriculum development, while Charity Cooper (also no relation, accounting background) does budgeting, accounting and admin.

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.
