Adam Caller is an educational consultant with over thirty years of experience in the industry. Speaking to BBC Radio 4 about why qualified teachers turn to high end private tutoring, Mr Caller said, "Most people who work for us are motivated by a personal need to do more than a school allows them to do. Schools constrict teachers to a few subjects, they must contend with the politics of working alongside their colleagues, and there is an enormous amount of paperwork; when you are a private tutor you are freed from all those things."

Mr Caller illustrated the liberating nature of private tutoring by adding, "Tutors International currently employs a tutor who has been working for us for a number of years, and she is currently homeschooling one child in 15 iGCSE subjects by herself. She can interrelate the subjects as she sees fit, she can choose the equipment she needs, she's got more or less unlimited budget, she can have whatever equipment she wants in the classroom, and if she were to suggest to the family that it might be better to learn about the Egyptians in Egypt, they would go to Egypt rather than looking at a book or YouTube. That is of course a pretty fantastic and liberating opportunity for a teacher."
