J-Novel Club has licensed the Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter light novel and manga series for digital release in English, presenting the main synopsis as:
After not passing the final exam for his dream job at the royal court, aspiring young sorcerer Allen desires nothing but to retreat to a simple existence in the countryside. Unfortunately for him, he can’t even afford the train fare! His only option is to secure a job, but his sole lead is far from modest — Duke Howard, one of the kingdom’s most influential nobles, is in search of a private tutor for his daughter Tina.
Despite her academic excellence, Tina struggles to cast even a single spell. To complicate matters, entrance exams for the esteemed Royal Academy are looming, and magical skills are essential! Can Allen leverage his unique spellcasting abilities to assist Tina in overcoming her magical limitations, a conundrum that even the best sorcerers in the kingdom have failed to unravel? And does her father, the duke, even want him to?
