Why become an international tutor?
Teach. Inspire. Live like a local.
Becoming an international tutor is one of the most rewarding ways to experience life overseas. Live with a welcoming host family while helping their children build confidence, improve their English or excel academically - all while immersing yourself in a completely different culture.
Unlike traditional teaching roles, tutoring offers a more personal experience. You’ll become a trusted mentor, build meaningful relationships with your host family and experience everyday life from the inside rather than as a visitor. Accommodation, meals and a weekly stipend are typically included, giving you the freedom to explore your destination in your spare time.
Along the way, you’ll develop valuable communication, leadership and mentoring skills while making a genuine difference in a young person’s life. It’s an opportunity to grow personally, experience another culture and create lifelong memories with a family you’ll never forget.
It’s more than tutoring. It’s a cultural exchange that changes both you and the people you meet.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I tutor abroad?
Tutoring abroad offers a fantastic opportunity to explore new cultures while sharing your knowledge with students in need of extra academic support. It’s a rewarding way to make a difference by helping others succeed while enhancing your teaching skills and gaining international experience. On top of that, tutor trips allow for a more flexible work schedule compared to teach or au pair trips, giving you time to travel, meet new people, and immerse yourself in local life. Whether you’re looking for professional development or simply a new adventure, tutoring abroad offers the perfect blend.
How does tutoring abroad work?
You live with a local host family overseas and help tutor their children part time. Your role depends on the country. In English-speaking destinations, you usually help with homework across different subjects. In non-English-speaking countries, you mainly help the children learn English while taking part in a cultural exchange. You stay in the family home with meals included and receive a weekly stipend. Because you work part time and have minimal living costs, you have plenty of time to explore, travel, and experience daily life like a local. Many tutors form close bonds with their host family, making it feel more like staying with extended family than just travelling. Tutoring abroad lets you immerse yourself in a new culture, gain valuable life skills, and enjoy a meaningful overseas experience rather than being a typical tourist.
