Charles Bonas

Spear’s Review

According to founder Charles Bonas, it is Bonas MacFarlane’s unique approach (which he likens to that of private bankers and GPs) that makes the firm stand out. ‘Schools are wonderful, but the function of a school is to encourage children to fit into a community and blend in seamlessly,’ he says. ‘We come at it from a different angle, looking at the child as an individual.’ 

With over 100 tutors and consultants across the world, Bonas believes the private tutor landscape is undergoing a ‘global revolution’. He says: ‘Britain will be seen more as a safe haven, a secure, enterprising economy… increasing numbers of Europeans will be encouraged to educate their children here.’
