Our daughter worked with a London Governess tutor for A-Level English Literature and the results have been fantastic. Her confidence and progress improved quickly, and she genuinely enjoys the lessons.

The English Literature tutor London Governess introduced prepared our son thoroughly for his A-Level exams. Over time he became not just a tutor but a mentor and role model.

Vetted Governess Candidates
London Families Placed
Our agency connects families with experienced Governess professionals across London and internationally.
All candidates undergo rigorous screening: enhanced DBS checks, right-to-work verification, reference checks (including past families and schools), qualification verification (teaching degrees, PGCE or Montessori) and in-depth interviews. We prioritise experienced professionals with proven track records in elite London private education settings for complete peace of mind.
We specialise in prep, primary and secondary school children. Our governesses excel in homework assistance, 7+/8+/11+ GSCE and A levels preparation, Common Entrance coaching, catch-up after absences and extension for gifted learners perfect for families at top independents schools.
It starts with a confidential consultation (phone or video) to understand your child's needs, school, schedule and preferences. We then present 2-4 carefully matched governess profiles. You interview shortlisted candidates and we handle contracts, trial periods (if requested) and ongoing support. Most families secure a placement within 1-2 weeks.
We offer transparent, competitive placement fees based on role type. There are no hidden costs; families pay a one-time introduction fee upon successful placement. Governess salaries are negotiated directly. We can provide guidance on UK tax via trusted partners.
Discretion is paramount for our high-profile clients. All consultations and candidate details are handled confidentially under strict GDPR compliance. We never share information without explicit consent and our website/forms use secure encryption.
Absolutely, many of our governesses are bilingual (including French and Spanish) or experienced with international schools (IB, bilingual programs). We frequently match for families with global lifestyles or those preparing for overseas moves while maintaining UK private school standards.
We are able to source and deliver a suitable candidate within 1 to 2 days.
