"To earn 180,000, the extraordinary tutor is expected to fulfil a long list of eccentric and class-based criteria: a received pronunciation English accent; reasonable music theory; an understanding of cricket, tennis, rugby, polo and rowing; the ability to foster hand-eye coordination and good manners; familiarity with early years education including Montessori and Reggio Emilia pedagogies; and first aid training. In comparison, an experienced nursery manager in England can earn about 35,000 a year, even without understanding polo."
"In time, the family hope their son will be accepted at a top-flight school such as Eton, St Paul's, Westminster or Harrow. It is important that [the] boy's education, even at the early years stage, starts to prepare him for this kind of life, the advert continues. He should be exposed to a wide range of quintessentially British experiences to help hone his habits, outlooks, tastes and sporting preferences. There is no reason why the boy can't visit Lord's, Wimbledon and Twicken"
