Tutoring firm believes it has found term-time holiday “loophole”
Tutor House, a private tutoring firm in London, claims that head teachers would allow term-time holidays if teachers were taken with them.
According to Schools Week, the agency launched this service this year for families with children aged between 11 and 18 in order to keep pupils on top of any exam preparation.
It has more than 800 “subject-specialist” private tutors (a mixture of former and current teachers) on-hand to fly abroad with families throughout the year.
Director Alex Dyer said demand had “significantly increased” to about 80 requests a year as “more and more parents worried about their children falling behind by missing key revision periods”.
He said the new service allowed families to go on holiday out of season, including during term-time if permitted by their school, without having to worry that their child’s education would fall behind.
