When a missed flight left travel tutor Joanna Dunckley and her client stranded in a hotel, she wasted no time and turned the room into an impromptu classroom. Her job required the utmost flexibility: Some days, she'd teach math classes on a superyacht. Other days, she'd turn an ant bite into a science lesson on ant colonies and formic acid. Dunckley's role is anything but traditional.
It's the best way to teach because you can personalize your curriculum. If your student is a golf lover, you can tailor all your physics questions to how they relate to golf.
We're basically paid like very good lawyers, said Nathaniel Hannan, who has worked with Tutors International as a travel tutor for 18 years and has lived in 13 different countries. But the hefty paycheck comes with significant caveats, said four current and former travel tutors.
Living someone else's life means compatibility is key. Travel tutors become an essential and close-knit part of their client's world, which often means putting their own on hold.
