Our tutoring is individualised to a child’s needs, strengths and confidence levels.
Delivered one-to-one, in person or online, our tutors are experts across subjects and stages, inspiring confidence and accelerating progress. For students who require sustained, immersive support, our full-time residential tutors integrate academic learning with enrichment and broader intellectual engagement.
Tutors travel to the family home to provide bespoke, education-led support.
Our tutors are based around the world to ensure we can provide tutorial support to meet your requirements.
For over two decades, Bonas MacFarlane has been placing tutors in private households overseas to deliver top-quality tuition intensively over a given period.
We provide individualised tutoring aligned to each student’s age, academic profile and aspirations. Delivered by exceptional tutors, our support evolves with the student, ensuring continuity, confidence and meaningful academic development at every stage.
The early years are not about rushing ahead, but about laying the right foundations. For families navigating pre-prep and early prep education, choices made at this stage will quietly shape confidence, curiosity and long-term academic success. Our role is to guide those decisions with care, experience and perspective.
Between the ages of 8-13, learning becomes more purposeful, and expectations begin to rise. Families are now navigating competitive entry points, boarding decisions and early scholarship preparation. Bonas MacFarlane provides a calm, well-judged academic support that builds confidence and readiness without pressure.
Between ages 13-16, academic demands intensify, and expectations become more exacting. Families are navigating GCSEs, senior school transitions and increasingly competitive scholarship pathways, often alongside growing pressure on students. Bonas MacFarlane provides steady, well-judged academic support that sustains performance, confidence and motivation through these formative years.
From 16 onwards, education becomes more outcome-focused. Students are preparing for A-levels as well as applications to some of the world’s most selective universities, where academic depth, intellectual independence and clarity of direction are critical.
Families come to us for reassurance and guidance as much as expertise. By building long-term relationships based on trust, discretion, and thoughtful support, we support parents and children through some of the most important early decisions they will make.
Darren has been the best art mentor we’ve had the fortune of working with, providing invaluable guidance and support that helped my son complete his portfolio on time in his final year of senior school. His mentorship truly brought out the best in him, and the outstanding feedback the work has received wherever it has been submitted speaks for itself.
I want to extend my deepest thanks to mentor Darren Marshall. His professional mentoring and support over the past year have meant a great deal to me. I truly cannot imagine how I would have connected with the RCA—or completed my studies so smoothly—without his efficient and high-quality mentoring. Thanks to Darren‘s support, I’ve made significant progress, even breakthroughs, in my artistic journey. It has been a real pleasure working with him.
It has been a wonderful and fruitful experience working with BM Tutors. We were very happy with their professional service and supportive approach, and ultimately we are grateful for the fine results they have helped us achieve.
