🌏 Online Tuition for Families in the Middle East, Europe & Asia

Many families following the British Curriculum or American Curriculum while living abroad face unique educational challenges.

Finding an online tutor who understands your child’s curriculum can be difficult. Finding one who also understands ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, confidence challenges, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), English as a Second Language (ESL), English as an Additional Language (EAL), and how to adapt learning for students preparing for iGCSE English Language or GL Assessments can be even more challenging.

Kite Tutoring is the international online division of Bedford Tutor. For over ten years, we have been providing specialist online tuition for students aged 5 to 16 following the British Curriculum, American Curriculum, iGCSE and a range of international educational programmes. We also offer tailored GL Assessment tuition, helping children build the confidence, skills and secure foundations they need to thrive throughout their education, including grammar school entrance, international school admissions and school progress assessments.

Founded by Annabel Walker, who has ADHD herself, Kite Tutoring combines over fourteen years of educational experience with a personalised, strengths-based approach to learning.

​At Kite Tutoring, we provide specialist online support for students worldwide, delivering personalised lessons based on the British Curriculum and tailored to each learner’s individual strengths, needs and goals. We support students who may be struggling with confidence, school-related anxiety, organisation, working memory, processing speed or managing the demands of everyday learning.

Long-Term International Support

One of our longest-standing international students joined us from Saudi Arabia with ADHD, needing support in both English and mathematics.

Over several years, lessons have been carefully adapted to suit his learning style, helping him build confidence, independence and strong academic foundations. By weaving his interests into sessions, from designing LEGO challenges and exploring the engineering behind cars to encouraging lively debates and persuasive discussions, learning became engaging, purposeful and enjoyable.

As his confidence grew, so did his willingness to tackle new things. Today, he approaches reading, writing, mathematics and problem-solving with far greater resilience, showing how personalised, interest-led teaching can make a lasting difference for neurodivergent learners. His journey is a wonderful example of how long-term tuition can nurture not only academic progress, but also curiosity, confidence and a genuine love of learning.
