Smart money: family offers £180,000 a year for tutor to get one-year-old into Eton

Family seeks tutor from ‘socially appropriate background’ who can provide infant with ‘comprehensive British cultural environment’

Getting paid £180,000 a year to tutor a single child might sound like a dream job but there’s a catch: the child is only one-year-old and you need to get him into Eton.

A wealthy family near London is “searching for a tutor to provide a comprehensive British cultural environment” for their infant, according to an advertisement published by Tutors International, which calls itself “the handcrafted Bentley” of private tutoring.
