Nanny Teachers or Tutors
Teachers, or anyone with childcare experience can serve as a live-in nanny, also called an international tutor
or governess, for the children of a family or for a small group of
families.
Who Hires A Live-In Teacher?
Families that travels a lot or live overseas in a remote location
without access to adequate schools will often employ the services
of a live-in tutor for their children. Or, parents often hire a private
tutor for a child with special educational needs that their local
school system cannot meet to enable their child to have the very best
education possible, despite their challenges. Basically, private international tutors are hired for the
simple reason of providing one's children with the exceptional education
of one-on-one instruction in an 100% English
speaking environment and Western curriculum.
Or, for homeschooling, sometimes homeschooling parents will join
together to hire a tutor for all their children to teach one or
more subjects.
What Does a Private Tutor do?
If a tutor was hired by a group of families they would be teaching
a number of students of similar ages and abilities, as in a small
classroom, but in most cases the private tutor will be teaching
a child or the children of one family. In this case the students would vary in
age and educational ability, keeping the teacher's job an interesting one! The tutor acts as a personal teacher
for the children, so this also means they travels with the family on vacation or to a
new living location.
Educators Overseas works with curriculum suppliers to bring the best K-12 curriculum to the child.
In most cases the curriculum taught is an accredited and recognized
international distance learning curriculum to provide credibility
to the student's primary education when considered by international
universities.
While some opportunities for private tutors might involve only teaching,
most families seek private tutors who are also willing serve
in the capacity of a nanny to the children or a personal assistant
to the family, including some cooking and field trips or other activities that relate to the child's care.
Contract for International Tutor
Benefits for international tutors are generally the same as those for
teachers in international schools, including a salary, housing (a
room and either a private or shared bathroom, usually in the same home as the family),
flights to and from the city of assignment at the beginning and
end of the contract term, and access to transportation or the use
of a car.
Although the contract length for private tutors is generally one
year, families are usually looking for someone who is able to extend
their contract for several years, assuming the initial tutoring
experience is satisfactory to all involved.
