Duties of an English-Speaking Governess

An English-speaking governess plays a crucial role in both the upbringing and education of your child. Our governesses from the UK are highly qualified, experienced, and certified teachers with outstanding references from families worldwide.

The specific duties of a governess are outlined in the employment contract with the parents. Generally, an English-speaking governess spends a significant amount of time with the child, organizing their daily schedule and ensuring it is adhered to. Depending on the child's age, the governess may help prepare for school, assist with homework, conduct educational games and activities, and accompany the child on trips and walks.

A governess primarily serves as a home educator and mentor, not as a housekeeper or cook. However, additional tasks can be negotiated and specified in the employment contract as needed.

Advantages of Hiring an English Governess

Overcoming the Language Barrier and Enhancing English Skills
An English-speaking governess communicates with your child exclusively in English, preventing them from reverting to their native language. Engaging with a native English speaker is the most effective way for your child to achieve fluency and a native-like accent, enhancing their ability to pass exams, travel abroad, or pursue higher education.
Personalized Learning Experience
The role of a native English-speaking tutor extends beyond traditional language instruction. They use a personalized approach, tailoring lessons to the child's interests and personality. This method helps foster a love for learning, making education enjoyable and engaging. The governess becomes a trusted friend, helper, and mentor, whose advice and experience are invaluable for the child's future development.
Comprehensive Supervision
English governesses provide regular progress reports, keeping you informed about your child's daily activities. You can rest assured that your child is safe, learning, and enjoying their time productively, allowing you to monitor and celebrate their growth.
Holistic Child Development
Beyond language instruction, a governess introduces the child to English culture and etiquette, fostering well-rounded development. They encourage the child's talents and help them explore interests in areas like sports and the arts.

At What Age is an English Governess Needed?

Typically, governesses work with children aged 5-6 years and older, as this is when children are either starting school or preparing to do so. For younger children, our agency also provides native English-speaking nannies to support early language acquisition and development.

Native English Governess for Summer Vacations

Enhance your child's English skills during the summer holidays with a native English-speaking governess from the United Kingdom. Gouverneur International specializes in finding the perfect governess to meet your specific needs.

English for Juniors in Summer: Improving English Skills at Home or on Vacation

School-based English education often lacks the immersive experience needed for fluent communication. No matter how skilled a teacher is, nothing compares to the benefits of consistent practice and a fully immersive language environment.

To make language learning enjoyable and effective for your child, it's essential to have someone who regularly engages with them in English. A governess from the UK is ideal for this purpose, providing constant interaction and practical language use.

During summer, a governess will accompany your child on walks, trips to the beach and park, and conduct creative lessons and games, all in English. They also teach good manners, punctuality, and responsibility, helping your child to naturally "absorb" the language rather than learning it through rote memorization.

Our Unique Service

Submit an ENQUIRY to hire a governess directly from England for either a long-term or vacation period. We can arrange for a governess to join you on holidays—whether at a foreign resort, country house, or any other location. We also accommodate special requirements, such as additional training in drama, fine arts, music, and more.

Where to Find a Skilled English Governess

Selecting a tutor, even for a short period, requires careful consideration. It’s not just about finding an English-speaking individual, but a qualified professional experienced in working with children. An English governess should have expertise in teaching English as a second language and possess strong pedagogical skills. Finding such a professional independently can be challenging, so we recommend relying on experts like us.
