Five-star beach resort Puente Romano has added on-site private tutoring to its cornucopia of activities and facilities, which also include a Six Senses spa, botanical gardens, world famous tennis courts and 14 restaurants.

Bespoke lessons and learning opportunities from a team of International School teachers and tutors are now available for students being home-schooled by travelling digital nomad parents during the pandemic.

"We have developed a high-quality programme which ensures we match the right teacher for each child based on personal study needs.”

Classes can take place wherever is most convenient and inspiring for each pupil through the resort and can be extended post-holiday with Zoom tutoring available to continue learning at home.Foyer at Puente RomanoTutoring will be available throughout this year and 2021.
