Explore programmeFrom the first years of school to adult learning, our tutoring is shaped around each learner — with patience, encouragement and clear goals.
Global Learning Companions was started by Corrie Albert, a teacher with more than 25 years of experience in British, French and international schools, from Singapore and Dubai to Paris and Geneva. We began with a simple intention: to offer something more personal than traditional tutoring.
Today we bring together experienced educators who share the same approach — building relationships, sparking curiosity and helping learners believe in what they can do — and connect them with families looking for thoughtful, individualised support.
We begin by listening to the learner and understanding their goals, then shape tutoring around their needs.
Patience, warmth and encouragement are at the heart of every session. We help learners feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes and grow.
With teachers in Paris, Geneva and the UAE, and online sessions, learners can access supportive tutoring wherever they are.
