  • The aim of this paper is to comment, first of all, on the principles of the educational model suggested to young noble Poles. It emphasises the importance that was attached to education during the period analysed and describes the most significant changes that were taking place in pedagogical methods. Then, the role of private tutors in the realisation of the educational programme is analysed. The author discusses their professional competences and the duties imposed on them. Finally, the place occupied by private tutors is compared with that of other servants employed in noble families in Old Poland
