Category
A returning expatriate family with three children (ages 13, 11, and 8) previously educated in the British system sought a transition tutor after relocating to India. The children needed to maintain British curriculum progress while integrating into local culture and potentially preparing for eventual entry into Indian international schools.

The tutor delivered comprehensive British curriculum education while arranging local extracurricular activities to foster cultural integration and socialisation. They maintained UK academic standards, and advised the family on long-term schooling options and strategy.
Desired Tutor Profile
A British curriculum specialist with cross-cultural teaching experience and familiarity with Indian educational system. The ideal candidate possessed flexibility to adapt teaching approaches while maintaining academic standards.
Duration of the Role
One year with potential extension.
Outcome
The one-year educational transition program for the three children (ages 13, 11, and 8) returning to India achieved excellent results in both academic continuity and cultural integration. All three children maintained their British curriculum progress while developing cultural understanding and local knowledge.
The eldest child's academic performance remained strong enough to secure admission to a prestigious international school the following academic year. The middle child, previously struggling with mathematics, made remarkable progress through the tutor's specialised approach, advancing to above grade-level performance. The youngest child developed age-appropriate Hindi language abilities alongside continued English academic development, as well as surpassing key academic milestones across core subjects.
The cultural integration component proved particularly valuable, with all three children developing comfort navigating local customs and forming friendships within the community. By the end of the program, all three children had secured placements in appropriate educational settings for long-term schooling, with assessment results demonstrating strong academic foundations.
