When you are paying upwards of 15,000 a year to have your child privately educated, the big sum of money for extra tuition(学费) may not sit well with you. But that is exactly what seems to be happening. An increasing number of parents look to "top-up" their child's already expensive education with a private tutor.

According to managing director Nevil Chiles of Kensington&Chelsea Tutors, the agency's students tend to fall into two groups. There are those who are struggling with a particular subject and benefit from one-to-one tuition. The second group consists of students who are already excellent but whose parents want to ensure they go on to their preferred school or university.

"We felt Mica needed help with exam technique and we also realized that she did much better one-to-one than in a classroom," explains Bowman, who contacted Kensington & Chelsea Tutors on the advice of a friend who used them for her sons, including one who was attending Eton."Mica has established a good relationship with her tutors and has gained confidence as a result of the tutoring." adds Bowman.
