What is a Tutor?
How cool would it be to have extended family overseas? An international English tutor provides private, live-in mentoring to children of a welcoming host family to help them succeed academically. As an English tutor abroad, your duties vary depending on your destination. In English speaking countries, you will be assisting with homework in just about any subject and in non-English speaking countries, you'll help the kids learn English whilst taking part in your own cultural exchange. You may even pick up their language! Tutoring allows you to live like a local and have the comfort of a family by your side. You’ll develop a strong connection with your host family and maybe even have the opportunity to accompany them on their vacations! There will be hardly any living costs seeing you will live in their home with meals provided so between your weekly stipend and working only part time, you’ll have the chance to explore your destination and everything it has to offer!
Give yourself the freedom to be more than the average tourist by immersing yourself in a completely new culture and developing valuable life skills. Tutoring abroad is an experience that you will never forget!
The difference between a tutor and an au pair
There are many similarities between tutoring and au pairing, however, the role itself is quite different. Au Pairs are live-in caretakers of the children while Tutors are live-in mentors solely responsible for teaching English or another subject to the children.

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.
