Hi, I’m Oli Eccles, Director of Education at Bright Young Things Tuition, and welcome to the first blog of the 2011-12 academic year!
Bright Young Things Tuition was created by Malachy Guinness and Woody Webster in 2007, and so it is fair to say that four years later we’re no longer spring chickens. We have tutors teaching nigh on every subject from 8+ to Graduate level, and provide private lessons and home schooling not only throughout the UK but internationally. We believe that our service has only improved over the last three years, as our private tutors collate and share their experiences and knowledge of every top school and university in the country, and many foreign institutions. Amongst our tutors we are fortunate to count public school teachers, professionals from the fields of law, finance and the media, and also certified national exam-board examiners.
We have a few miles on the clock now, it is true; should we consider re-branding ourselves Bright Mature Things? Whack BMT into Google and you will discover that competition for the acronym is strong: Defensive Services, Engineering consultancy and a time zone… Luckily we need not take such drastic action. BYT is proud to take on the brightest graduates as new tutors each year, ensuring that we are always ready to provide quality tuition which draws upon fresh and recent experience of the exam syllabuses and Oxbridge interview processes. In the office, I might hold up my own hand as evidence of Bright Young Thing’s regenerative properties: my arrival as a new Director of BYT has pulled the average office age down by a couple of years. First task? Airbrushing the wrinkles out of Woody and Malachy’s website mug-shots.
Yet to focus on ourselves in this way is not only narcissistic, it is also a misreading of our name. Certainly, our tutors are all Bright Young Things. But it is also our pupils who earn this moniker. It is they who put in the extra study, who seize the opportunity to develop their enthusiasm for a subject and who collect the exam results that certify them to be the successes of the future. So, as the new term starts, we’re not just looking forward to employing a few more Bright Young Things, we’re looking forward to making some!
It seems like the secret to eternal youth is Bright Young Things Tuition.
