Why some private tutors make $400K a year

Companies like Tutors International are more popular than ever because celebrities and high-net-worth families want the best for their children. Because the educational landscape has become so crowded with "gifted children," affluent parents are hiring "Super Tutors," some of which can make as much as $400K a year -- and that doesn't event account for year-end bonuses, perks, travel, luxury accommodation, and gifts. 

Extraordinary pay means extraordinary sacrifice 

While have a compensation package exceeding a half million dollars a year and flying around on private jets sounds like a dream job, it's not for everyone. It takes an extraordinary level of commitment and fortitude.

​Private tutors who work for UHNW families often stay up very late during the week, and they work on weekends as well. Not all private tutors are cut out for the work, and Tutors International has a very strict recruitment process to ensure that only elite tutors are presented to their affluent clients. 

What does it take to be a super tutor?

Celebrities and billionaires only want the very best tutors for their children. Some of the qualifications include but are not limited to:

• A BA or master's degree in Education
• A teaching license (master's degree equivalent) 
• Several years of experience at an elite school
• Many years of experience working with high-profile families
• Flexibility to travel worldwide on a moment's notice
• A deep passion for the teaching profession
• Evidence of professional development 

The list could be even more extensive than this because some affluent families require the super tutor design customized lessons and speak multiple languages fluently.
