Why Families Choose Private Tutors Over International Schools
For families who live internationally, education for globally mobile children rarely follows a neat pathway.
Moves happen for sensible reasons. A role changes. A contract extends. A posting meant to last a year quietly becomes three. Children grow up between places rather than within them, and most of the time, they cope remarkably well.
What tends to unravel is not behaviour, or effort, or ambition. It is rhythm.
We often meet families at the point where they have done everything “right”. Chosen good international schools. Planned carefully. Trusted that continuity would take care of itself. And yet, something feels off. Not dramatically wrong. Just unsettled.
The question they are beginning to ask is not whether the school is good, but whether the model still fits the life they are actually living.
