"When Adam Caller, the owner of Tutors International, posted a job listing last week for a tutor for a one-year-old, he didn't expect it to go viral. The job pays £180,000, or $240,000, but he had advertised roles before that pay considerably more. "What has grabbed the press's attention here is not the amount of money, but it's the fact that it's a one-year-old," he told Business Insider."
"The listing, published in the Times Educational Supplement on October 17, was placed on behalf of a wealthy international family based in London. The family is seeking an experienced tutor to prepare their baby for elite schools like Eton or Harrow - and to help him become the perfect "English gentleman." According to the listing, the family is looking for someone who can begin "immersing the child in British culture, values, and subtleties before any cultural bias takes hold.""
A job advertised a £180,000 ($240,000) position to tutor a one-year-old to prepare for elite British schools such as Eton and Harrow and to cultivate English gentlemanly manners. The role requests early immersion in British culture, values, and subtleties, instruction in old-money sports like tennis, polo, and rowing, exposure to classical music, and visits to art galleries and theaters. Parents who previously provided private tutoring from age five judged that start too late and now seek earlier intervention. The posting provoked wide media attention and strong public reaction focused on the child's age.
