Digital Nomad Family Educator in Portugal

Role of the Tutor

The tutor implemented a flexible curriculum system adaptable to changing locations while meeting both UK and international educational standards. They created location-specific learning projects for each destination, and managed educational resources across multiple environments.


Desired Tutor Profile

A highly adaptable educator comfortable with frequent location changes and varied learning environments. Experience with project-based learning, digital education tools, and teaching multiple age groups simultaneously was essential.


Duration of the Role

One year initially, with potential for extension.


Outcome

The one-year educational program yielded exceptional results in both academic development and adaptability skills.


The flexible curriculum maintained educational consistency ensuring key milestones were being met, despite the family living in seven different European locations during the year. Both children not only achieved but exceeded international grade-level standards across all academic areas, with particularly strong performance in geography, history, and mathematics.


The location-specific learning projects created meaningful connections between academic concepts and real-world contexts, resulting in sophisticated cultural understanding. Their project documentation created a rich portfolio demonstrating both academic achievement and unique cultural insights. By the end of the engagement, when assessed against standardised measures, both children showed academic performance approximately one grade level above age expectations. The family extended the tutoring relationship for a second year, recognizing that this educational approach not only maintained academic progress but created unique developmental benefits transcending traditional fixed-location schooling.
